After a two-month break, the Champions League is back, and the season starts with several exciting matchups.
This week’s “Match of the Week” features Aalborg Håndbold against Veszprém, two teams that together have six final appearances but are still chasing their first title. They last met in the 2023/24 quarter-finals, where Aalborg sealed the win at home against the Hungarian record champions. Dinamo Bucuresti and Sporting also meet again after last season’s group stage. Paulo Pereira leads Dinamo while also coaching the Portuguese national team, while Sporting’s coach Ricardo Costa recently extended his contract until 2030.
In Group B, reigning champions SC Magdeburg host a revamped PSG. Magdeburg has strengthened the squad with three new players, while PSG has six newcomers and a new coach. At the same time, HC Eurofarm Pelister faces HC Zagreb in a Balkan showdown.
