Long Sunday

FC Barcelona Intersport claimed its first title of the season this Sunday by winning the Catalan Super Cup. Of the first 15 editions of the Liga de los Pirineos, the Azulgranas have won 12 and finished in the second position on 3 occasions.

Tradition of winning

Before the Liga de los Pirineos, which started in 1997, the Catalan handball competition was called the Catalan League.
