Elias á Skipagøtu continues to shine in Kiel. On Thursday, he played a crucial role as the Germans defeated PSG away with a score of 34-28. This result means that Kiel is leading the group ahead of PSG.
In the French capital, PSG and Kiel faced off in the group final of Group A, and it was a closely contested battle throughout. The teams were neck and neck and hard to separate for most of the match. With ten minutes remaining, the score was tied at 27-27.
However, Kiel is accustomed to playing tight matches, and when it came down to the wire, there was no doubt about it. Kiel produced a powerful finish and eventually won comfortably at 34-28, largely thanks to Elias á Skipagøtu’s seven goals.
Fabregas beat Barcelona in His Return
Ludovic Fabregas joined Barcelona as a young talent from Montpellier. Since then, the Frenchman has developed into one of the world’s best line players before leaving for a new adventure with Hungarian club Veszprem.
Therefore, it was time for Fabregas to return to Palau Blaugrana on Thursday evening, and he immediately showed that he is missed in Catalonia. After a dominant performance on both ends of the court, the 27-year-old led Veszprem to an impressive 41-36 victory in Barcelona.
In addition to Fabregas, Lukas Sandell also played a crucial role for Veszprem. The former Ystad player scored four goals and demonstrated his desire for more playing time in the absence of the injured star, Yahia Omar.
