Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto receives the standard corrective from FC Barcelona
Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto were defeated 20–40 by FC Barcelona Lassa in a match corresponding to Round 24 of the Liga Bauhaus Asobal. FC Barcelona do not know what it means to ease off, because if they did, their European challenges would not have the required level of competition. If there is one thing to praise Xavi Pascual’s men for, it is that they approach every match as though it were a Champions League final.

That being the case, the 0–4 run was a declaration of Barcelona’s intentions. With a defence in which players such as Corzo are smaller and less powerful, Fertiberia repeatedly crashed into the Catalan giants’ towers, allowing them to do what they like best: counter-attack. The gap consequently widened and, during one of those counter-attacks, Chueca, who had replaced Ibrahim, was injured in a collision with Ariño, who went into the challenge too forcefully. The regulations now protect outfield players, but it will be necessary to review how a goalkeeper is protected during a jump that reached practically the goal line and seriously injured the goalkeeper.
The most notable aspect of the match was the rotations made by both coaches. The Valencian had to improvise because of the numerous absences: in addition to the known absences of Sorrentino, Berrios and Sayad, David Bruixola was also unavailable through illness—too much for the red-and-white squad’s depth.
In short, an expected defeat which, combined with Teucro’s last-gasp draw against Aranda, leaves the Valencians two points and the head-to-head record above the relegation zone. That is after getting past the two obstacles of Naturhouse and Barcelona, the Galicians’ next opponents. Fertiberia, meanwhile, play in Pamplona against the cathedral’s home side, Anaitasuna, in a difficult match but one belonging to the league of ordinary mortals.
