After two defeats in a row in the competition, PSG largely beat Dinamo Bucharest 40 to 33 this Thursday as part of the 10th day of the Champions League.
Paris Saint-Germain Handball ended a series of two defeats in the Champions League in style by signing a large victory (40-33) in the arena of Dinamo Bucharest, a direct competitor, on the occasion of the 10th daytime. Under pressure in the race for the first two places in Group A, directly qualifying for the quarter-finals, after their setback against Sporting in Lisbon (39-28) then at home against Berlin (37-34), the Parisians will pass the long break (next day in February after the World Cup) in a better position after this resounding success. While waiting for the evening duel between the Portuguese (3rd, 13 pts) and the Germans (4th, 10 pts), they seize the runners-up position from the Hungarians of Veszprem (18 pts) with 14 pts and relegate the Romanians to four lengths. After a match controlled from start to finish during which they widened a significant gap from the 33rd minute (23-14), they were buoyed by the success of the Dane Jacob Holm (9/10), who took advantage of the injury Elohim Prandi to gain confidence, and a solid defense around Luka Karabatic, back from injury.
They were also well helped by the apathy of the Romanians, without movement in attack and permissive in defense in front of a pair of goalkeepers who made their first save in the 33rd minute. They barely had to put the screw back when Dinamo came back five lengths (30-25) shortly before the last ten minutes (48th). A return nipped in the bud, thanks in particular to the saves of Jannick Green (9/41) and the precision on the left wing of Mathieu Grébille (5/5). Now, before the break, there are three dangerous championship matches in Toulouse and Nantes, then against Saint-Raphaël.
