The Catalan 'mariners' travel to Malta to face the most exciting and challenging event of the season: the Water Polo Champions League Final Four. The objective is clear: to secure the club's second Champions League title, following their victory in 2014.

After dominating domestic competitions by winning the League, the King's Cup, and the Super Cup, Atlètic-Barceloneta now focuses its efforts on the premier continental trophy. In the semi-finals, the Barcelona-based team will compete against Ferencváros, a formidable opponent that has won the last two Champions League editions. Nevertheless, the team arrives at one of its best moments of the season and is not ruling out any possibilities.

Coach Fran Fernández will be without the notable absence of Vince Vigvari due to a hand injury. However, the rest of the squad will be available to face Ferencváros and, should they reach the final, the winner of the match between Italy's Pro Recco and Greece's Olympiacos.

Fran Fernández acknowledged that the team arrives at the event "in good form" and "happy," emphasizing that "there are no favorites" and expressing confidence that the players will "give their all" as they have throughout the season.
