Nielsen: “Our goal is to win the trophy”

FEATURE: Emil Nielsen has been outstanding for Barça so far this season, saving 40.3 per cent. Now, they have another challenge in MOTW against Celje

For the first time in years, Barça started the season in the Machineseeker EHF Champions League with serious chinks in their impenetrable armour, after a disappointing end to the previous season, where they failed to secure the title in the top European competition after a loss against SC Magdeburg in the semi-finals.

The losses of centre back Luka Cindric and line player Ludovic Fabregas, two crucial players in their star-studded squad, did not help. Neither did the injury of centre back Domen Makuc, who was supposed to take centre stage and take the reins of the team.
