Four teams from the Spanish league (Asobal) are heading to Vigo to contest the 22nd Copa Asobal.  As you might expect two of those teams are Barcelona and Atletico Madrid and the other two are not.  It’s all set up for a Barcelona-Atletico final but before that there is the small matter of the semi finals to be played.

Today (December 21st, the day the world ends) sees Atlético Madrid play Naturhouse la Rioja at 6pm UK and that is followed at 8pm by Barcelona playing Reale Ademar León.  The final is tomorrow at 5.30pm UK.  All matches are live and accessible in the UK at Laola1.

Barcelona have taken this title 7 times; Atletico (including in their previous incarnation) 6.  Reale Ademar León have two titles to their name but, despite that, the bookies make them only 33/1 to even win their semi final this time around.

With the Men’s World Championship occupying January this is the last club action for these teams until the start of February – hopefully they will be looking to go out with a bang and play some entertaining handball on the way.
