Barça 39-29 Ademar León: The first as champions

Barça aren't letting off despite already having secured the national title, and on Wednesday won by ten against Ademar León at the Palau Blaugrana

In a game where the attacks outshone the defences, the visitors showed why they are in such form on many occasions, and although the game may have already looked broken at 9-5, they quickly managed to close the gap back to just one.

But Barça then put their feet down and by the break there was again light showing between the two sides (20-16). Yet for the second time, Ademar were able to close the gap to just one, something they did on several occasions but without ever managing to tie the game.

Barça eventually found the cruise mode they had been lacking all game and the 10-point win is an important boost for morale going into the Champions League games with PSG, the first of which is on the 25th in the French capital. But there's one more league match to come before that, this Saturday at Sinfín (9pm CEST)
