I see the game much interest and that is something very good for both clubs and Catalan handball – said Barca’s coach Xavi Pascual after he saw a lot of media representatives during official press conference.

There is an advantage in all this ………… all teams except Barça are very close and the league after the giant is very appealing. Another advantage is that young talents can play very importants minutes and progress much from a young age.

I would like the Granollers wins Barca, but actually I think it’s impossible because the difference between the teams is stratospheric …… The situation in the Asobal league is so poor and the difference between Barça and the rest so great that fans already know who will win all competitions in Spain before beginning ………. It is painful!
