How could PSG lose to Szeged? While the Parisians had the game in hand, they were caught by the patrol this Sunday in the Champions League. To finish second behind Barcelona, PSG will have to refuel at home against the Norwegians Elverum (February 22) and the Croats Zagreb (March 1) and hope for a defeat for the Hungarians. Why not in Barcelona on February 29 on the last day? An important second place since it allows to play at home the return matches for 8th and even the quarter-finals. A big advantage for the Final Four.
What you must remember
Faced with a team they had beaten in the first leg 25-25, the Parisians blew hot and cold. Imperial during three-quarters of the match, Raul Gonzalez's men collapsed at the end of the match. If Vincent Gérard made a big first period (8 saves), he could not do anything against the Spanish Joan Canellas, author of 10 goals (on 12 shots).
The number
While the Parisians scored up to six goals in the 34th minute. A fact of match revives the Hungarians, in agony. On a free throw from Radivojevic which ends up in the face of Germain, the Serb blew himself up and sounded the Magyar revolt (34th). Eight minutes later, the Parisians are joined (23-23, 42nd) before losing in the money-time.
