PSG was quickly fixed.
A week after learning of the postponement of his match against the Ukrainians of Motor Zaporozhye, initially scheduled for last Thursday and counting the 11th day of Group B of the Champions League, Raul Gonzalez's players have a new date in their already very busy schedule.
It will therefore be next Tuesday, March 1, on the neutral ground of the Tatran Handball Arena, in Presov in Slovakia, announced the EHF (European federation).
They will continue two days later with a new trip to Bucharest in Romania (6:45 p.m.).

The current situation is extremely tense in Ukraine, with consequences that logically affect the sporting environment.
After the postponement of Thursday's match, the European authorities had to quickly find a solution in order to preserve the integrity of the calendar.
The decision was therefore made for the Motor to play its next matches on neutral ground in Presov, against PSG then Barcelona on March 3.
The EHF first admitted to seeing "no possibility of playing matches in Ukraine".
"The European Handball Federation always aims to preserve the integrity of its competitions and believes that the best option is a decision on the pitch," said EHF President Michael Wiederer.
At the same time, the safety of teams, players and officials is of the highest priority.
