FC Barcelona (ESP)
POT 1
No team in the group phase managed to avoid a defeat at least once. Even FC Barcelona, a team
that boasts stars like Arpad Sterbik, Siarhei Rutenka, Kiril Lazarov and Nikola Karabatic did not.
Their group phase was like a burger - eight victories covered on both ends by two stumbles in
Skopje. In the first round Xavi Pascual and his team only tied RK Vardar, while in the last round
they were defeated by Metalurg.
In the Spanish Asobal they have won all their matches so far. The sheer dominance is one of the
reasons that makes the EHF Champions League record winners of the red-hot favourite to win
their eighth title come the end of May and the VELUX EHF FINAL4 in Cologne.
One damper to Barcelona’s campaign has been an injury to their goalkeeper Arpad Sterbik who is
expected to be sidelined at least until the FINAL4. However, the club was quick in signing Mickael
Robin from Montpellier HB as replacement. He led his new team safely past Aalborg in the Last 16.

THW Kiel (GER)
POT 1
There have might been voices out there among the handball experts that uttered concern
about THW Kiel’s ability to play yet another dominant season, after the German side had to
cope with the departure of French internationals Thierry Omeyer and Daniel Narcisse, Swede
Markus Ahlm and Serb Momir Ilic. However, the German national champions proved their
critics wrong, not only in the VELUX EHF Champions League, where they topped Group B at the
end of the group phase with eight wins from 10 matches, but also in the domestic league in
which they equally rank first after two thirds of the season have been played.
Head coach Alfred Gislason has once more forged a strong team that is ready to reach the
VELUX EHF FINAL4 in Cologne for the third consecutive time. “To reach the FINAL4 is always
one of our main goals. We are a top club in Europe, so we should aim high all the time,” says
goalkeeper Johan Sjöstrand, one of the players started playing for THW Kiel at the beginning
of this season. They were spared a long trip after the first leg match against Motor Zaporozhye
was played on the neutral court in Györ, Hungary due to political situation in Ukraine. Kiel won
both encounters and for the 17th time they are in the top eight of the continent.

MKB-MVM Veszprém (HUN)
Momir Ilic, who arrived from German national champions THW Kiel at the beginning of the
season, promised that MKB-MVM Veszprem would take Europe and in that respect the VELUX
EHF Champions League by storm. And the Hungarian side gave everything they had to fulfill the
Serbian left back’s promises at the start of the competition.
With six consecutive wins in the first six matches of the group phase they became the first
team to qualify for the Last 16, eventually also securing the top spot in Group A mid-February
following 34:27 victory against Zagreb in Round 9.
Early in 2014 Veszprem furthermore strengthened their squad with Hungarian international
Tamas Mocsai, who returned from German side TSV Hannover Burgdorf to his native country
to cover for the injured Laszlo Nagy. However, even the inspirational Nagy has recovered
from a knee and shin injury. They faced Orlen Wisla Plock with their former stalwart Nikola
Eklemovic in the Last 16. Although they lost the first match in Poland by one goal, they
comfortably reached the top eight after beating Plock by five at home.

HC Vardar PRO - Skopje (MKD)
The reigning Macedonian champions made several headlines early in the season as they not
only stole the first point from the main group favourites FC Barcelona, but were also the first
club to replace their head coach. Less than a week before their Round 3 match at home to PSG
Handball they parted ways with Zoran Kastratovic.
After just three months in the job, this decision was a surprise for many. Assistant coach Andon
Boskovski took charge for the following game, but after the EHF EURO in Denmark the club
announced the signing of Raul Gonzalez Gutierrez, a former Spanish national team player and
member of team that won a bronze medal at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta.
The 44-year-old has coached Valladolid and is a former assistant of Talant Dujshebaev at
Ciudad Real and Atletico Madrid. The second club’s connection to Dujshebaev, his son Alex,
missed the final rounds of the group phase through injury, but was instrumental in the biggest
success in the club’s history as Vardar eliminated the defending champions HSV Hamburg and
reached the top eight of Europe for the first time.

PSG Handball (FRA)
Much of the talk going into this season’s competition surrounded PSG Handball and their
recently assembled collection of superstars. How would the large number of world class
players collaborate as a team? Quite well, but far from perfect was the answer.
Four points from their first four games, including a home defeat to Barcelona, was not the start
many expected. However, four wins on the trot put PSG back in a strong position.
Barcelona’s established team put the new title contenders firmly in their place with a
devastating 38:28 win, with all the damage done in a brilliant first half, but Hansen and co.
regained some pride by securing second position with a clear win over Vardar.
They have attacking threat in abundance, with clear evidence in their scoring list. Seven players
scoring between 30 and 46 goals prove that they rely on no one player at any time and the side
are bound to improve as a unit as the season progresses further. The reached their first ever
quarter-final in the European top flight after they ousted the Slovenian side Gorenje Velenje
mainly thanks to a convincing home victory in the second leg.

Rhein Neckar Löwen (GER)
After a two-year absence the ‘Lions’, aka German side and EHF Cup champions Rhein-Neckar
Löwen, returned in style to the VELUX EHF Champions League. Following a bit of a false start
that only saw them taking a draw in their first match against Ukrainian side Motor Zaporozhye,
they pushed themselves into gear and secured the spot in the Last 16 already at the end of
November after a 32:26 victory in the return leg against Zaporozhye.
They eventually finished the Group Phase of the VELUX EHF Champions League ranked second
in Group A with seven wins, two draws and one loss.Only away goals ruled that Löwen are part
of the quarter-finals tale as they tied the third team of the previous season Vive Targi Kielce
55:55 on aggregate in the Last 16. As Rhein-Neckar scored away five more goals than Kielce,
they ruined the dream of Talant Dujshebaev and his players.Back in October there had been
a lot of transfer talk about their inspirational left wing, Uwe Gensheimer, but the 27-year-old
eventually extended his contract with the German side until 2016, true to the motto ‘once a
lion, always a lion’. His current coach however, Icelandic Gudmundur Gudmundsson, won’t be
sitting on the Löwen’s bench next season as he accepted the offer to succeed Ulrik Wilbek at
the helm of the Danish national team from July 2014 onwards.

SG Flensburg Handewitt (GER)
For the second season in a row, SG Flensburg-Handewitt were paired with local rivals HSV in
the group phase and for the second season in a row finished one point behind in second place.
Ljubomir Vranjes’ side were barely troubled in their opening three encounters, dispatching
their opponents with ease, before letting a four-goal half-time lead against La Rioja slip in a
35:35 draw. Subsequent defeat to HSV meant that finishing first in the group was out of their
hands, despite a win in the return fixture, and second position was never really in doubt with
nearest rivals Velenje and Aalborg lacking consistency.
The German side were hit hard by injuries at the beginning of 2014, so much so that coach
Vranjes was an unused substitute in the penultimate game against La Rioja, but they
completed the group phase with three wins from three, happy in the knowledge that they will
avoid their local rivals for the next round at least. In the Last 16 they faced Celje exactly 10
years after the perennial Slovenian champions beat Flensburg in the EHF Champions League
finals and this time German team prevailed by two goals on aggregate.

HC Metalurg (MKD)
There was a Russian invasion to Skopje over the last summer, but the only big signing for
Metalurg was Pavel Atman from Minsk. Lino Cervar’s team saw that nobody escaped the
group phase unblemished as they beat FC Barcelona on the very last day of the campaign. In
their Boris Trajkovski arena they also defeated the second group favourites PSG Handball, but
ironically on the same court against the underdogs from Wacker Thun they lost a valuable
point, which could have pushed them closer to pot 2.
In the competition’s first city derby they lost to Vardar, but they struck back swiftly and took
both points in the very next round.The club has successfully survived some internal troubles as
goalkeeping icon Darko Stanic was suspended by the club and should be ready for another long
mission in the knock-out rounds like last season, when they reached the quarter-finals before
Kielce brought their campaign to a halt.
Their performance against KIF Kolding Kobenhavn in the Last 16 was brilliant as they not only
dominated the home court by a great defence, but also won the second leg in Denmark. The
38-year-old Renato Vugrinec completely denied his age scoring 23 goals in two matches on his
way to the top of the scoring chart.

VELUX EHF FINAL4 countdown
The VELUX EHF FINAL4 is the culmination of the European club
handball season. The two-day event sees the best four men’s teams
in Europe playing to decide the ultimate winner of the VELUX EHF
Champions League.
It is undeniable that the 2013 VELUX EHF FINAL4 was the season’s
highlight in European handball – 20,000 spectators in the LANXESS
arena and millions of fans at home watched four unforgettable
handball games and a unique entertainment show.
Introduced in the 2009/10 season and to be played until at least 2014
in the LANXESS arena, Cologne, the decision to create a new format
for the final phase of the VELUX EHF Champions League was seen as
crucial for the growth of handball across Europe.
Tickets for the 2014 edition of the VELUX EHF FINAL4 went on sale on
the opening day of the VELUX EHF FINAL4 2013. Now, eight months
before the participating teams are known, more than 11.000 of the
19.750 tickets have already been sold.
The aim was to create a flagship event, one that could compete on
the international sports market and make the Europe´s leading club
competition even more attractive to fans, partners and sponsors.
The success of the VELUX EHF FINAL4 is also thanks to the
commitment of a great number of volunteers who have been active
on the weekend of the event. The application procedure for next
edition has already started and applications are invited also in the
area of media.
The success of the first four editions of the VELUX EHF FINAL4 showed
that this new format was the right strategy. It has set new standards
in organisation and entertainment: it is not just four games played
over two days but a true entertainment event. The engagement of a
top international act such as EUROPE was a sign too of the direction
the event is taking.
