The last time Kiel won the Champions League was with a certain Kim Andersson in the team.

The Swedish sniper was the best on the field in the final against Atlético Madrid 2012 with seven goals.

A few months later, Niclas Ekberg joined the team.

And now - eight years later - the right-wingers have also won the top handball tournament for club teams in the world.

Ekberg, who became a hero in the semifinal against Veszprem as recently as yesterday, also showed the way in the semifinal and scored six goals in the first half.

It helped that Kiel had 19-16 at the break.

The second half was smoother, but Kiel managed to keep their distance and take their fourth CL title in the club's history.

Niclas Ekberg, 32, became the top scorer in Kiel with eight hits, of which six on penalties.
