Barça, which wins its 14th consecutive League, has no rival

For a long time, 14 years exactly, the Asobal League has been disputed to find out who will be second, since Barcelona's dominance is scorching and there is no one who can challenge it. With their victory this Saturday over Granollers (40-37), Carlos Ortega's team has 14 wins, an unparalleled and unrivaled streak, a pristine sovereignty, an unparalleled achievement. On this occasion he had five games to spare after a sensational season, as he has won all the games except the draw conceded on the first day against Bidasoa Irún (26-26). It was no different against Granollers at the Palau and the confetti was once again Barça.

Before the match began, while the names of the players were announced over the Palau public address system, the squad smiled and high-fived while Petrus made the surfer gesture that Ronaldinho once brought to the club to the delight of the others. Afterwards, the team gathered together, all together in the Barça technical area. “We are going to win this game!” Captain Dika Mem simply said, without stridency or heartfelt words, just the demand acquired naturally by his supremacy. 30 seconds later Mem scored the first goal, getting to work. But Granollers is not a posh or fancy rival and, with quick transitions, he tried to say his thing to put a rival who was not averse to running, however, in trouble. Quite a spectacle, a coming and going that could very well cause stiff necks in the spectators, a physical waste in which Granollers took refuge in the left foot of Yusuf - who has long ceased to be a promise, on loan from Kielce although he already knows that his next station is the French club Limoges - and in the hands of Roberto Rodríguez, who for some reason is the goalkeeper with the most saves in the competition. At the same time, Barça had Gonzalo Pérez de Vargas between the sticks and found Carlsbogard and Aleix Gómez, also in Melvyn Richardson, in the opposite goal. 21-19 at intermission; everything to decide.

“They're scoring a lot of goals against us, guys!” Ortega complained, somewhat upset by what was happening in the 40 by 20; “We're not making a damn mistake, it's just that you do what you want and it can't be.” But Granollers, who have once again had a sensational season, third in the standings, were still on their side, capable of leveling the score (24-24) and keeping up with

. It was non-stop, a duel at the speed of sound, a handball at

and tackle. Also an attack of accelerated pulses, to the point that Mem confronted Sergi Franco for a foul on Petrus, a red card in the end. Richardson converted the penalty, three goals difference, a breath of relief for Barça. But it was little (37-35) with three minutes remaining. Barça endured the type and the advantage and finally celebrated the hard-fought victory. Glory to Granollers and victory and celebration for Barcelona, ​​which added its fourth title of the season after laurels in the Catalunya Super Cup, the Iberian Super Cup and the Spanish Cup. It remains to be seen how the Copa del Rey develops and, above all, in the greatest of its challenges: the Champions League, already qualified for the quarterfinals - the previous step to the

- against PSG, matches that will be on April 25 and May 2. Although now he has to enjoy the Asobal League, a streak that began on September 11, 2010 with the victory at the Palau against Torrevieja (34-25) and that continues 13 and a half years later, a monstrosity that can be explained with his last defeat, at the Palau against Granollers (28-29) on April 13, 2018. The same did not happen this Saturday and the players, in a group first and with Mem in the center and the Cup in the air, celebrated their new League, an endless domain.
