The closing day of round 13 in the Machineseeker EHF Champions League group phase on Thursday has brought the final decisions regarding quarter-final and play-off spots in group A, but has left the race in group B still open.

SC Magdeburg defeated Barça 29:28 in a spectacular Match of the Week in Germany as both teams are now level on 22 points. And with Telekom Veszprém HC (37:31 win at Montpellier HB) just two points behind, there is still the possibility open that the three teams end on level points next week.
