So today it’s about who can start in the premier class next season. Missing will be a turning point for one of the teams, both sportingly and economically. Flensburg has always been in the Champions League since 2010. This season, SG earned a total of 320,000 euros for reaching the quarterfinals.

Both teams have had a landmark Champions League week. To make it short: Kiel is in the Final Four, Flensburg is not. Maik Machulla’s team also lost to FC Barcelona in the away game. The zebras, on the other hand, secured the ticket in a thriller with a 33:32 in the home game against Paris SG. The game in France had previously ended in a draw.
