Champions League: even without Nikola Karabatic, PSG handball easily wins (22-29) in Magdeburg

A victory that brings serenity and confidence for the rest of the season.

Three days after their loss in Toulouse (35-27) during the 3rd day of the Starligue - the first in the league since April 2021 - PSG had a full match this Wednesday to record a convincing victory in Magdebourg (22-29) in the Champions League.

At the co-leader of the Bundesliga undefeated in all competitions (5 successes in the league and 2 in the Champions League), Raul Gonzales' men struck a blow by winning with style.

The Parisians had however approached the meeting diminished by the package at the last moment of its center half Nikola Karabatic, positive for Covid-19.

Despite this handicap, Raul Gonzales' men started the game with their feet to the ground and made a first gap (3-3, 8th; 3-7, 14th) thanks to an effective Elohim Prendi (3/4 on shots).

Solid, the PSG turns largely in the lead at the break (10-18, 30th).

While we were expecting a rebellion from the Germans during the second act, Luka Karabatic's partners calmly manage their advance.

Prandi, Sole, Syprzak and Kristopans finish top scorers of the match on the Parisian side with 5 achievements each.

Thanks to this success, PSG go back to 2nd place in Group A on equal points (4) with their evening opponent.

The Hungarians of Veszprem (fallers of the Parisians on the first day) occupy the first place with 3 successes in as many meetings.
