BarcelonaOn May 3, 2013, Barça played against Atlético de Madrid in the semifinals of the final four of the Cup. The match was played in Logronyo. The Blaugrana, victims of a bad start, went into the break trailing by 6. At the time, the team was coached by Xavi Pascual, Easter, who came with a majestic resume – he had won the last two leagues – adjusted the distances, but in the end lost by three (28-31). Those were the times when in Spanish handball there were two clubs that opted for everything: the Blaugranas, omnipresent since the late 80s, and the Matlasers, who had acquired the federative rights of Ciudad Real, which disappeared in 2011.
