FC Barcelona are through to the Spanish Cup Final after a brilliant showing in the semi-final against fellow Catalan outfit Granollers. Dika Mem was particularly impressive as Barça outperformed their opponent in Irun, and will back out on the same court tomorrow at 9pm CET to face Logroño for the trophy at 9pm CET.

Barça only needed ten minutes to go +4 and from there it only looked like there was one side who could win this one. Some top goalkeeping from Nielsen and the gap increased to six, and much as former Barça man Pablo Urdangarin was inspired for the opposition, Barça were just too good

The gap slowly got wider and wider and with 18 minutes to go, Barça were +8, moments later it was +10, and by the end of it, almost everyone in the team had contributed at least one goal to the emphatic win.
