The Paris SG has mastered the reaction of Aalborg to win in Denmark 32 to 29 Sunday in the Champions League handball.
The Parisians (8 wins, 1 loss) remain at the top of their group tied with Barcelona they will receive next Sunday in Coubertin. The result of this shock is likely to decide the "pole position" and the direct ticket in the quarterfinals that goes with it.
Barça are the only team to beat PSG this season in the first leg. The French champions have won their 19 other matches in all competitions.
In Denmark, the PSG was diminished by the absence of his only left-back, Nedim Remili, who suffered a sprained ankle last week during the success against Flensburg and unavailable for about three weeks.
Two right-handers, Denmark's Mikkel Hansen and Nikola Karabatic, played on the right side with great efficiency (7 and 6 goals). Norway's Sander Sagosen also hurt his former club by scoring 7 times.
But the big man of the match was the Spanish goalkeeper Rodrigo Corrales, already excellent last week. It was he who put out the fire when the Danes came back twice to a goal in the middle of the second period, while Paris had led five lengths back from the locker room.
