Barcelona (dpa) - The handball players at THW Kiel also lost the second Champions League duel with FC Barcelona within a week.
The German record champions lost their away game against the Spanish record champions on Thursday with 25:29 (12:13).
Miha Zarabec scored five goals for Kiel, who now have 7: 7 points on their account.
For Barça, Ludovic Fabregas scored six goals in the seventh win in the seventh game.
At the beginning, the two Danish world-class goalkeepers put their stamp on the game.
Niklas Landin in the THW gate and Kevin Möller in the box of the Catalans brought their opponents to despair.
It took until the 23rd minute before the home side were able to break away a little more clearly at 11: 8.
Kiel, however, did not let up and was a good three minutes after the break at 15:14.
With the hosts, the French backcourt players Timothey N'Guessan and Dika Mem have now taken command.
With a lot of pressure, they brought Barça back into the game.
When their compatriot Fabregas scored 28:23 (57th), the game was decided.
