PSG Handball-Fredericia (38-30): Paris does not tremble in the Champions League

The Handball Champions League is sometimes unfortunate in that it regularly, and sometimes too often, gives us the same posters from one year to the next. Planet hand is a small world. It’s nice to see a new opponent for PSG from time to time. Engaged since the 2013-2014 season, Paris is playing its 12th European campaign in a row and, never before, has the capital club met Fredericia, this team from a country where handball is king: Denmark.

Now it’s done: the team from this town located on the banks of the Baltic has come to Coubertin. And contrary to what we thought, she gave the French champions a bit of a hard time. Without a player really referenced on the international scene, the Danish vice-champions played their luck bravely. Before the break, they came back to within a goal (13-12, 23rd) before PSG pressed a little hard on the mushroom to take 3 steps ahead (18-15, 30th).

The gap increased, little by little, to reach 8 lengths at the end of the game. PSG ended up winning 38-30 and remains well placed in second place in the provisional ranking of Group A of the Champions League behind Veszprem. Above all, as the matches and the weeks go by, this PSG gains strength. This bodes well.
