This Tuesday, at 6 p.m., the Palau Blaugrana hosts one of the most attractive parties in the Liga Sacyr ASOBAL. They face Barça, the undefeated leader of the competition, and the Bidasoa Irun, second classified in the regular championship. The duel at the top of the League opens a very intense final stretch of the course for the Catalans, who will play four games between this week and next before a new national team break.
Barça enters the game with a full victory (25) and with a nine-point advantage over its rival, a Bidasoa Irún who has won 20 of the 26 games he has played.
