“We will try to create the miracle of Paris,” says coach Jícha. The Kiel trainer is not wrong with the required miracle, the Zebras last won in 2014 with 27:25 against their permanent rivals. After the first-leg defeat, the northern lights had to start the long away journey in the domestic Bundesliga to Stuttgart. Last Saturday there was an exhausting but deserved 37:30 away win. Nevertheless, the strain on the men from the Förde is really high, not least because of the strain on the journey. A look at the personnel situation also gives little hope: Ehrig, Weinhold and Johansson are still out, Wallinius and Bylik have not yet regained their old strength. Accordingly, what is required today is an almost superhuman performance from the remaining actors.

It is perhaps the most important game of the entire Champions League season before the Final Four. It’s one last game to secure one of the four tickets for Cologne. 60 enthralling minutes have been played in Kiel, where the teams separated with a 27:31 for the guests from France – a result that many consider a kind of small preliminary decision. The North Germans put up a big fight, but their opponents were already overpowering that evening. The star ensemble from Paris presented itself as ripped off and was not impressed by the sometimes heated spectators. The zebras didn’t find their usual game and struggled against the very physical defensive. It seems a Herculean task for the Jícha troupe, of all things, in front of the hot-blooded audience in Paris, the last step to Cologne should be taken.
