Round 7 of the Machineseeker EHF Champions League 2024/25 group phase started with two thrillers on Wednesday evening: Kolstad Håndbold won the MOTW against Aalborg Håndbold 25:24 thanks to a penalty 15 seconds before the end, and OTP Bank - PICK Szeged beat Industria Kielce 28:27. Also, SC Magdeburg ended their disappointing series (one point in four matches) with a thumping 36:24 win over HC Zagreb.

In the late matches, the two group A leaders added yet another win: Paris Saint-Germain Handball (30:28 against Sporting CP) and Veszprém HC (27:24 at Orlen Wisla Plock) won their last matches before the three-week national team break — but both had a tough fight to gain those points.
