19:24
Mid-term conclusion:
It will be a difficult walk in the Wunderino Arena in the second round! An inferior THW Kiel has traded a 14:18 deficit against FC Barcelona at the break. The star ensemble from Spain gradually pulled away in the first few minutes, with the Zebras’ Timothey N’Guessan and Aleix Gómez in particular being hard to grab and repeatedly celebrating successful actions. After that, even a few saves by Tomáš Mrkva didn’t really help, as the North Germans also made several mistakes in attack and have been running behind a constant deficit ever since.

19:21
Goal for FC Barcelona, 14:18 by Gonzalo Pérez de Vargas
There is no worse way to say goodbye during the break! The North Germans play the final attack in seven-a-side, but lose the ball and invite Gonzalo Pérez de Vargas to throw from their own half.

18:27
Everyone at THW is aware that the Catalans are once again the big favorite for the title and have enormous quality. “Barca are the only team who haven’t lost a game this season. You can only have great respect for these achievements, for this team and for this club,” said Filip Jícha. Captain Domagoj Duvnjak is looking forward to today’s game: “Games like this are the reason why you start playing handball as a child.”
18:16
However, the 34:33 crime thriller win at SC Magdeburg recently created a positive mood in Kiel. The return of Hendrik Pekeler, who played the first few minutes of the game after tearing his Achilles tendon, gives Filip Jícha’s team new opportunities both in attack and defence. However, the THW has to cope with the next bad news straight away. Backcourt player Eric Johansson broke his throwing hand in final training and will be out for a few weeks.
18:08
The zebras are under pressure in the premier class. After three games without a win against Kielce (37:40), Nantes (30:38) and Aalborg (36:36), Kiel slipped to fifth place in Group B. As a result, the all-rounders from FC Barcelona are coming to northern Germany at the worst possible time. The Catalans are not only the reigning champions, but have not lost any points in the current preliminary round.
18:00
Have a wonderful good evening and welcome to the 7th match day of the Champions League! THW Kiel welcomes FC Barcelona to the European handball classic. Throw-off in the Wunderino Arena is at 6:45 p.m.
