great performance by MHB in the quarter-finals of the Champions League

In the first quarter-final of the Champions League on Wednesday night, Montpellier crushed the German club Kiel with a lead of nine goals (39-30). Return match next Thursday in Germany.

Montpellier took a big step on Wednesday evening to reach the Final Four in the Champions League in Cologne under the eyes of Jackson Richardson: 39-30 victory against the German club Kiel, in the quarter-final first leg. Last time MHB reached the last four? It was 2018 and Montpellier had won their second European title after 2003. For the last season of Patrice Canayer (arrived in 1994), the club could offer him a grand exit.

A great achievement for Montpellier, because the Germans had only lost twice this season in the European Cup. Passing almost 40 goals in Kiel is a very rare achievement. Vincent Desbonnet closed the cage with 15 saves at 36% and the author of the game’s last goal. Offensively, Yannis Lenne (six goals), Lucas Pellas (seven goals) and Stas Skube (five) carried Montpellier. Diego Simonet, best player in the 2018 Final Four, scored three goals.

“Bring Patrice to the Final Four”

Rémi Desbonnet didn’t want to get carried away when the final whistle went: “We know that turnarounds happen quickly. So we’re going to concentrate on the comeback. It’s practically a perfect game to win from nine goals down. I was on fire. i evening, at home, in full house The gift is to take Patrice to the Final Four and do great things there.

An incredible atmosphere at the FDI Stadium (sold out match) to push MHB widened the gap until the end of the match. We need to build on this advantage next week in Germany to compete in the last four.
