In the first semi-finals of the falcon-club in Cologne, Nant, led by Thierry Anti, surprised Paris Saint-Germain with a spectacular game, and as an outsider went into the Champions League final – 32:28 (17:14). Like Vardar last year, Nant succeeded in placing himself in the finals at his first appearance at the final tournament, with a surprising triumph against the favored „Millionaire“.
As few people could imagine, the end of the great Vardar’s era took place in the semi-finals of the league’s fielder for the Champions League against Montpellier, who was known for the outsiders in this match, led by experienced Patris Kanaje who overtook the experienced Spanish expert Raul Gonzalez.
Montpellier was surprised by Vardar and deservedly celebrated 28:27 (14:11). The extent to which this outcome of this year’s competition is unexpected is the fact that Patrice Kanaje’s team started from the „lower house“, more precisely from the weaker group.
For the new title of the Velux League Champion, the French will be Thierry Anti and Patris Kanaje!
