Foxes Berlin are subject to 38:40 after a gripping duel

Max-Schmeling-Halle, 10437 Berlin, Deutschland - Berlin experiences a top-class handball drama! The Foxes Berlin have to surrender in a captivating Champions League game against Paris Saint-Germain's starting force with 38:40. Before 8,525 euphoric spectators in the Max-Schmeling-Halle, the Berliners showed a catch-up in the extra class, but in the final phase they collapsed under the pressure of the French giants. Coach Jaron Siewert is annoyed by the third narrow defeat in a row and speaks of a "disappointment", because more would have been in it!

The lack of Lasse Andersson was a heavy blow to the foxes. Although experienced Mathias Gidsel and Dejan Milosavljev were back on the field after illness, other key players injured themselves. Andersson, who had to expose the entire training week, could not appear. His absence was noticeable, especially when the talented Matthes Langhoff had to jump into the breach. The 22-year-old was able to cause a stir with a brilliant goal into the empty goal, but subsequently left out some options. The Parisians use the chance consistently and quickly concluded to bring the game to a breakneck pace.

red card drama and whistle of fans

The encounter was dominated by heated emotions and exciting twists. While Gidsel shaped the offensive of the foxes and scored impressive ten goals, there was an excitement: Luka Karabatic from PSG saw the red card after his third time penalty. But the joy deception kept briefly, because in return Luc Stein grabbed a two -minute penalty against the Berliners, which brought the fans in the hall to white glow. Steins welcomed a ruthless whistle concert with every ball contact!

Although the foxes acted at eye level over long distances of the game, they showed weaknesses on the defensive in the last few minutes, which the Parisian took merciless. "We beat ourselves today, that was bitter," said Siewert after the final whistle. A gripping evening for the fans, which, however, ended without rewarding points!
