EHF Champions League Group B Ends: Barcelona and Magdeburg Reach Quarter-Finals, Pelister and Zagreb Eliminated
The EHF Champions League Group B campaign has come to an end. The Balkan representatives, Eurofarm Pelister and Zagreb, finished below the cut line, meaning their European season is now over.
Barcelona and Magdeburg advanced directly to the quarter-finals, while the remaining four teams will battle for a place in the last eight through the TOP 12 phase against four sides from the other group. Paris Saint-Germain defeated Magdeburg 33:26 in a match that had no real significance for the German side.
