Montpellier aim to celebrate 40th in style

COUNTDOWN #3 : Montpellier HB (FRA). After lifting the EHF Champions League trophy in 2003 and 2018, Montpellier will try to add the European League to their proud record

Winning two Champions League in the last 20 years does not automatically make you a contender for a European trophy. Montpellier have learned the hard way, enduring mixed results since 2018.

While their 2018/19 Champions League campaign turned into a disaster, the French side did not manage to qualify for the European League in 2020/21, their first attempt in the competition since 2014.

With a team that has changed greatly over the last few years their ambition remains the same. Montpellier feature among the contenders, but maybe not as the favourites.
