Bathco Torrelavega 22-42 Barça: Still in top gear

The handball team had no trouble picking up another win this Saturday, this time by 20 goals in Torrelavega, the second of six domestic fixtures before the return of the EHF Champions League.

That's 22 wins in 22 games in the domestic championship for this unstoppable team. Following a tight series of opening exchanges, a 5-1 streak for Barça set the tonic for the rest of the game, and once Barça had their feet on the gas, there was no way back for the home side.

The real goal flurry came towards the end, when the Catalans managed to double what was already a massive lead of eight points

Next up is Atlético Valladolid at the Palau Blaugrana.
