For the first time, the winning team have won all their games throughout the season, and finished off with the biggest margin ever for an EHF FINAL4 final. FINAL
The perfect ending to a perfect season 20 games, 20 wins. This is pure mathematics, but this explains Barça’s season in the Champions League and why the Spanish side rolled through the final today. Prior to arriving in Cologne, no team had ever been able to win all their games, giving the Blaugranas a well-earned favourite status. And tonight, from the first to the last minute, they lived with it, showing no sign of pressure. It was no surprise that Barça beat Aalborg with the biggest gap in the history of the FINAL4 finals, 13 goals. TEXT: EHF / Kevin Domas |
