The handball team took noble revenge for the elimination of the soccer players.
The Barcelona handball team surprisingly defeated Paris Saint-Germain 30-22 in the first match of the men’s handball Champions League quarterfinals.
It is not uncommon for this pairing to come together in the top four, but this time life brought it in such a way that the parties already clashed in the top eight. Neither side got off to a good start in the first half, and eventually PSG found themselves and went into halftime with three goals. After a change of half, Barca recovered and with a 5-0 series, a new match started in lightning speed. Moreover, the momentum of the Catalans was not broken, at the start they already led by six goals against the completely disintegrating French team. The end result was a crushing Spanish victory, and in Paris.
The fans of Barcelona could confirm with satisfaction that the handball players were able to make up for the extremely painful 4-1 defeat they suffered in the football BL – which also took place in the quarter-final duels.
Final result – men’s handball Champions League, quarter-finals, first match
