In the last four matches of the EHF VELUX Champions League, the big derby between Atletico Madrid and THW Kiel was played in Vistalegre Arena, Madrid. With constant lead throughout the whole game, firstly at half time with 17:15, THW Kiel managed to hold onto the lead and in the end with nice five goals difference, 32:27 the final score.
