Barça has dyed international sport in blaugrana this Sunday after lifting the EHF Champions League title, placing the ASOBAL stamp and the NEXUS ENERGÍA ASOBAL League at the pinnacle of continental handball. Carlos Ortega's charges have done so in an outstanding manner, conquering the Lanxess Arena in Cologne, demonstrating dominance and hegemony on par with the greatest dynasties of the 40x20.

A display of competitiveness and accuracy backed by intangible qualities and a record of achievements that already boasts a historic tally of 13 European Cups. No other professional handball club comes close to those records. Barça leads the continental honors ahead of VfL Gummersbach and SC Magdeburg, each with five titles as champions of the old continent, expanding their legend, born from the tradition and ecosystem of ASOBAL handball, sustained over time, producing some of the new idols of professional competition.

The blaugranes have achieved unprecedented success in an almost perfect season, with a record of 60 wins in 61 matches, demonstrating outstanding consistency. That level of excellence has translated into a new clean sweep of seven titles, achieved for the third time in their history (2000, 2015, and 2026), providing a revealing context to their 30 wins in 30 matches in Spanish professional competition.

Figures harvested from a squad that has functioned like clockwork, with practically half of its members raised in the day-to-day battle of the NEXUS ENERGÍA ASOBAL League, with Carlos Ortega as the conductor, the record man. The coach and former Barça player has won his ninth European Cup, the third as a coach, all from the Palau Blaugrana bench. His project and season plan has been circular, impregnable with two points remaining in international competition, refining every detail of the current best team in the world.
