Barça make huge step towards EHF FINAL4

QUARTER-FINAL REVIEW: Outstanding start paves the way to finally close away victory at Flensburg

Barça have won the seventh consecutive EHF Champions League match against Flensburg and underlined their ambitions for an EHF FINAL4 ticket, while Flensburg’s quarter-final curse seems to continue despite a great morale in the second half: Since they won the trophy at Cologne in 2014 for the first and only time, the German side have not made it to the EHF FINAL4 again. After the 29:33 defeat on home ground on Wednesday against the record winners, the team of head coach Maik Machulla needs a miracle in the second leg at Palau Blaugrana. The first ten minutes were already decisive - in the second half the hosts clearly improved, but could turn the match around.
