FC Barcelona’s handball team has won the Champions League for the 13th time. The Catalans defeated Füchse Berlin 37-34 in the final in Cologne.
Even a strong comeback from 22-27 to 30-32 wasn’t enough for the Germans to avoid their second consecutive final defeat against the record champions.
In the third-place match, last year’s champion and German champion Magdeburg, featuring Swiss player Manuel Zehnder, defeated Danish champion and cup winner Aalborg Handbold 32-26.
