An all-Catalonian final will be played at the Copa del Rey in Pamplona this year after the semifinals saw Barcelona cruising past Anaitasuna with 36:28 (Lazarov scored 7 goals), while Granollers’ game against BM Huesca was much more exciting and produced a real thriller in the end, ultimately won by Granollers with 26:25 after trailing at half time with 12:13. Alvaro Ruiz led the Granollers side with 7 goals, three from penalties. The final is to be played today at 17:00. Barcelona are huge favorites to win the final, and therefore secure the double-crown in Spain. At the Final Four in Cologne, Barcelona is facing a much more serious challenge, Flensburg-Handewitt from Germany.
