Barça put the the bad news this week of an injury to pivot Ludovic Fabregas behind them and with the result immaterial after already being confirmed champions, Barça took a serious attitude to Saturday’s game to keep the winning streak going and ready themselves for the European quarter final against SG Flensburg-Handewitt on Wednesday 11 May at 6.45pm CEST.

Relegation threatened Puente Genil started strong, but Barça would eventually win it by 11. With Leo Maciel excelling with a 50% save rate early on, the Cordoban menace was quickly quelled, and Barça already led by five at the break.

That cushion soon got softer still, and despite a noble effort by the home side to mount an unlikely comeback, Barça were in cruise mode by now and ended up the comfortable victors.
