BENOIT KOUNKOUD (PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN HANDBALL RIGHT-WINGER):

The match is never over until it's over - they came back a few times, and we had some weak moments, but we managed to stay focused and stay in the lead. But a final is never a foregone conclusion. There were no injuries, and we can always do more, but right now we are focusing on Kiel."
