15.09.2021, 10:45 GROUP A REVIEW: Ivica Obrvan's side stood strong for 24 minutes, but goalkeeper Aggefors and top scorer Barthold guided Aalborg to victory |

Aalborg Håndbold and HC PPD Zagreb were the positive and the negative surprises of the previous season – and the roles looked the same in their opening group A match in the new edition of the EHF Champions League Men. Aalborg, last season's runners-up, had no problems as they started the new season with a double-figure victory. After suffering 14 defeats in the 2020/2021 group phase, HC PPD Zagreb lost again.

Zagreb’s new arrivals need time for integration HC PPD Zagreb bolstered their squad by signing some homegrown stars for the new season. But in the opener, former or current Croatian internationals such as Ivan Cupic, Filip Ivic, Jakov Gojun, Zeljko Musa and Sandro Obradovic could not fulfil the expectations of the fans and the club. The newly composed middle block of EHF European League winner Musa, who arrived from Magdeburg, and EHF European League finalist Gojun need some time to form a rock-solid wall.
