Barça won its third consecutive victory in the Handball Champions League (33-24) on Saturday at Palau Blaugrana against an Elverum that bothered him for 40 minutes with a slow game that prevented the Catalans from achieving a wider victory. With a great direction of Luka Cindric and with the extremes Víctor Tomás and Aleix Gómez who added 11 goals, they kept the Norwegians at bay, who led by Sebastian Henneberg (8 goals) fulfilled the objective of taking a decent defeat.

The Norwegians showed their intentions at the start of the game by putting the 0-2 on the scoreboard after three minutes, which forced the Catalans to activate quickly, with Ariño and Tomás marking the counterattack (3-3). The Nordic team opted for long attacks touching the passive mostly actions and seeking to culminate from the left end with Blonz or from the nine meters with Sandell pitches.

The azulgranas improved in defense with the first changes but that did not allow him to give an important pull on the scoreboard at any time. His maximum advantage was five goals (13-9, min. 24) after one of the few kickbacks he had and which Aleix Gómez solved.

The exchange of goals was the tonic in the resumption. Three by Sebastian Henneberg kept the difference of three goals (18-15, min. 35). Xavi Pascual ordered an advanced defense with special attention to the top Norwegian scorer, which Entrerríos and Aleix Gómez were in charge of under the watchful eye of Sorhaindo.

The Catalans began to look more at Ludovic Fabregas in attack and Cindric was adding play or penalty goals to put Barça six goals up (24-18, min. 46) and definitely control the game.

The last Norwegian kicks came from the hand of his pivot Orsted and Pettersen (24-20, min. 45) but a partial of 5-1 ended his resistance (29-21, min. 52).

Barça could finally run in the final minutes thanks to the success under the sticks of Moller and Aleix Gómez, who showed all his repertoire in the finishes and putting the Catalans in what was their maximum advantage (31-22, min. 56 ), income that Xavi Pascual kept until the conclusion.
