Barca - Champions of the Asobal Supercup!

FC Barcelona - Naturhouse La Rioja 40:31 (19:12)

Barca defeated Naturehouse La Rioja and claimed the Asobal Supercup title thanks to the team's lethal attack and strong defence. Two for two! Only a week after winning the Club World Cup tournament in Qatar, Barça claimed the Asobal Supercup this Friday.

Xavi Pascual's men rolled over Naturhouse La Rioja, a team that will feature in the Champions League this season. The match started with a Víctor Tomás and Dani Sarmiento - they scored the opening six goals for Barça between them - leading the charge. Barça's initial pace was devilish and their defence was tight. The team led by Xavi Pascual soon took a 9 to 4 lead, which forced Jota González to call time out. The end of the first half came with a seven-goal lead for Barça (19:12). At the start of the second half, Naturhouse attempted to fight back through Paván. However, the visiting team's attempt was to no avail. Barça won the title thanks to the 40:31 scoreline. Karabatic was named the best player of the match; Lazarov was the highest scorer, and Saric was named the best keeper.
