PSG are probably not as dominating as in the recent past.
Since the start of the season, in all competitions, he has already lost three times.
At the start of October, it's a lot when you have the PSG logo on your chest and the national title was won the previous season without any defeats.
60': It's over!
Paris wins and has a third consecutive victory in @ehfcl!

We have known it since the start of this season: the new-look PSG is advancing on eggshells, without certainty.
He therefore never won a match in advance, unlike last season.
Facing Zagreb on October 6, there was therefore danger for Paris even if the Croatian team is not a monument on the European scene.
Reinforced by the Karabatic and carried by the guardian
Reinforced by the return of the brothers Nikola and Luka Karabatic recovered from the Covid and comforted by its encouraging success a week earlier in Magdeburg among the German champions (29-22), PSG did the job, did not tremble and well insured.
The Parisians led the whole game, thanks in particular to their Danish goalkeeper Jannick Green, who was imperial in his cage (9 saves including 7 in the first period).
They've won their third straight win.
"Our goal in this Champions League is first to finish in the top two of our pool to qualify for the quarter-finals without going through the 8th," says Spaniard Ferran Sole.
For the moment, we don't think of anything else.

Despite a good lead at the end of the first act (8-goal lead, 22-14), everything has not yet been perfect, especially in the middle of the second half.
The Croats took the opportunity to catch up a little behind.
Only, they fell on serious and applied Parisians.
Spaniard Ferran Solé took advantage of the evening to score his 100th goal in the Champions League and PSG won by scoring 40 goals (40-31).
“We have something to be happy about”
“We have something to be happy about,” rejoices coach Raul Gonzalez.
It was a difficult match as always in the Champions League.
Zagreb knew how to play hard.
We play a lot of games and we have to remember to breathe and rest between each game if we want to go far.

With this success, PSG consolidates its second place in Group A, behind the Hungarians of Veszprem who inflicted their only defeat on the inaugural day (36-34).
It's promising for the future even if this Paris in reconstruction still has work to be done.
