Few players in the world are enjoying a period of dominance like Mathias Gidsel right now. The Danish star has been unstoppable this season, leading both the Bundesliga and the EHF Champions League scoring charts while continuing to add to an already remarkable list of achievements.
Gidsel enters the decisive stage of the Champions League season with 120 goals, putting him firmly on track for one of the most prolific scoring seasons the competition has ever seen. With Füchse Berlin already qualified directly for the quarter-finals, the Danish back will have at least two matches and potentially four if the team reaches the Final4 in Cologne – to add to his tally.
That leaves him within striking distance of a historic milestone. The current single-season record belongs to fellow Dane Mikkel Hansen, who scored 141 goals for Paris Saint-Germain during the 2015/16 season. Gidsel needs 21 more goals to surpass that mark and claim the record for himself.
