Handball: PSG avoid Nantes in the round of 16 of the Champions League

The poster was beautiful.

A little too much.

This time, for sure: the duel of the 8th finals of the Champions League between the two French clubs will not take place.

PSG and Nantes will not meet again before the Final Four, on June 12 and 13 in Cologne, Germany.

It all depended on the outcome of the final meeting between the Poles in Kielce and the Germans in Flensburg on Thursday.

The latter having won (31-28) away, they steal the first place in Group A from their opponents, who at the same time downgrade to 3rd place, for the benefit of the Parisians (best individual goal average) .

Second, Luka Karabatic's teammates inherit the 7th in Group B, Celje.

With the victory of @SGFleHa over @kielcehandball, the 🔴🔵 finished 2nd in their group and will face Celje in 1/8 of the @ ehfcl

The challenge seems very affordable for Raul Gonzalez's men.

Since 2015, Paris and Celje have crossed paths eight times and the capital club has always emerged victorious.

The meetings will take place on March 31 and April 1 (outward), and April 7 and 8 back).

If sanitary conditions permit.
