Dear friends, NR. NAVN:

I am delighted to be able to welcome you to the beginning of1 the EHFKasper Champions Larsen League Men play- offs as the road to the EHF FINAL4 Men truly begins. 2 August Pedersen The group phase once again proved that Europe’s top-flight is the place to watch the very best in our sport with a series of thrilling matches starring the handball4 elite. SuchKlaus was Thomsenquality of handball on show, the group phase once again was a massive hit with fans across the world. 7 Nikolaj Øris Nielsen Once the curtain came down on the group phase, EHF Champions League content had earned a digital reach of 130 million on digital platforms.

Sebastian Skube One look at the line-up for the play-offs already sends shivers down the spine with a number high- profile matches which will decide the quarter-finals. 15 Mads Kjeldgaard Andersen

THW Kiel, who dramatically clinched last season’s title after16 victory Aljosa in Cologne Rezar in December, enter the play-offs with a mouth-watering meeting against MOL-Pick Szeged in one of the ties of the round. Barça finished runners-up to Kiel three months ago but in this18 season’s Jesper competition Nøddesbo they have been unstoppable and, quite literally, unbeatable. The Spanish giants ended the group phase with a perfect 28 points from their 14 games and go into their 22meeting Nikolaj with Elverum Markussen Handball full of confidence. 55 Thrainn Orri Jonsson SG Flensburg-Handewitt ended the group phase by topping Group A having won 10 of their 14 games. Their prize for such a series of strong performances are77 two matchesMichael against Knudsen HC PPD Zagreb. The Croatian outfit failed to pick up a single point from the group phase but that counts for nothing now and will head into the play-offs keen on causing an upset.

The road to the LANXESS arena would not be the same without Paris Saint-Germain Handball, and the French side’s quest to win their first EHF Champions League Men title will begin against RK Celje Pivovarna Lasko.

Another team to impress during the group phase were Lozma . The Polish side had the 80 goals of top scorer Alex Dujshebaev to thank for their form and they now face HBC Nantes for a place in the quarter-finals.
