News

On Wednesday evening, Paris Saint-Germain Handball take part in EHF Champions League Matchday 3 action, with a tough test awaiting them in the form of German giantsFlensburg.

Paris off the mark...
Defeated in the final moments of the their Matchdsay 1 clash in Veszprém (32-36), Les Rouge et Bleu opened their European account last week with a victory at the Stade Pierre de Coubertin, dominating against Dinamo Bucharest (41-30).

... Flensburg stalled
The Germans, on the other hand, have still not taken a single point. They were beaten in their opening game by defending champions Barcelona (21-25) and lost again last week, narrowly, to Porto (28-27).

Goal threat: Hampus Wanne
Flensburg's Swedish left-winger Hampus Wanne is one of the top scorers in the competition. The 27-year-old has scored 14 goals on the European stage so far this season (six against Barcelona, eight in Porto) and is just three points behind first-placed Raul Nantes with 17. The Parisian who has been most successful in this area is none other than Mikkel Hansen, with 12 goals.

Head to head
This fixture has become something of a classic in European handball. It will be the 15th direct confrontation between these two teams in an official match. At the moment, our team leads with nine wins and five losses. They have also won three times on German soil. We remember, for example, Nedim Remili's kung-fu on the buzzer in 2017, which clinched the capital club's first-ever win in the Flens-Arena.

Les Rouge et Bleu: efficient
The Parisian attack is proving to be very prolific in this early season. In two rounds, they have scored 72 goals, or 36 per game (only Kiel have done better, with 74). During the visit of Bucharest last week, they were very skillful, scoring with 75% of their attempts (41 out of 55).
