The Guaguas volleyball team has clinched its tenth national league title, celebrating victory with an enthusiastic crowd at the Gran Canaria Arena after defeating Melilla in the decisive final match.

The national dominance of Guaguas continues with the capture of their tenth league championship. The Gran Canaria team secured the title by defeating Melilla 3-0 in the second and decisive final series match, held at a roaring Gran Canaria Arena.
Under the guidance of coach Sergio Miguel Camarero, the team displayed clear superiority at a crucial moment of the season. This triumph caps an exceptional 2025-26 campaign, which already included the Spanish Super Cup in December and a remarkable performance in the Champions League, coinciding with the club's 50th anniversary.
The first set laid the groundwork for victory, with an overwhelming Guaguas side leaving no chance for the opponent. Despite a few scattered points from Melilla, the home team dominated decisively, with standout performances from Walla, Juantorena, Io de Amo, and Unai Larrañaha in reception. The final score of 25-17 reflected their clear dominance within 25 minutes.
The second set saw an initial attempt at a comeback from the visiting team, which managed to gain a slight lead. However, coach Camarero kept his starting lineup, successfully neutralizing the threat. From the 10-8 mark, Melilla was overwhelmed by the yellow avalanche, with decisive plays from Spencer and Juantorena, closing the set 25-19 in 27 minutes.
The third and final set confirmed Guaguas' superiority. Facing a 2-0 deficit, Melilla appeared resigned to the home team's recital. A decisive block by Colito at 8:22 PM sealed the final victory (25-16) and unleashed euphoria in the arena, marking the end of a successful season.
