Like two weeks ago, when they took a lucky 28:27 victory at Celje, Barça were shaken again in their last group match.  But, again they found a way to win with Timothy N’Guessan scoring the winners’ strike for the 32:31 victory on Thursday at Industria Kielce. Thanks to this victory, the defending champions finish the group phase unbeaten, with 13 wins and one draw, and on 27 points. Both sides had already been confirmed to finish first and second and both sides had already directly qualified for the quarter-finals. For Kielce, it was the first home loss this season in the Machineseeker EHF Champions League.
