So far, so good. If we forget the big defeat already a month ago at Veszprem (41-28) which had raised some concerns, PSG is in nothing stops mode. Undefeated in the league, the French champion club escaped the trap of Füchse Berlin this Thursday. PSG won 40-38 in a meeting which did not make the defenses shine.
In the German capital, PSG found on its way an opponent that in 12 years of campaigning, it had never faced. Füchse Berlin is one of the oldest clubs in the world, born at the beginning of the 20th century in the city where handball was codified almost 100 years ago. The Berlin club is, however, a newcomer to the Champions League. And he wants to find a place for himself behind the German giants that are already Kiel and Magdeburg.
The duel between the two capitals was close from goal to end. At the break, the attacks had already taken the upper hand: 20 goals on each side for a perfect tie (20-20). Everything came down to the last 30 minutes. And it remained undecided for a long time. Until the Parisians pressed on with, as always, strikes from elsewhere from Elohim Prandi who nailed the German defense on several occasions. In a heated atmosphere, the Parisians took a two-goal lead 7 minutes from the end (34-32) and they did not give up, goalkeepers Jannick Green and Andreas Palicka taking charge of repelling the last attacks Germanic.
In the standings, after 6 days, PSG remains in the race for the first two places, synonymous with direct qualification for the quarter-finals in a group where no one is undefeated.
