The German handball champions SC Magdeburg suffered their first defeat of the season.
Coach Bennet Wiegert's team lost 22:29 (10:18) against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League on Wednesday.
After five victories in the Bundesliga and two successes in the premier class, SCM had no chance against the star ensemble from France, but still has every chance of progressing.
The best Magdeburg thrower was national player Philipp Weber with seven goals.
For the guests who came with the former SCM keeper Jannick Green, four players were successful five times.
The fans created the dreaded atmosphere in the Getec Arena right from the start, but this didn't inspire the team.
The SCM had problems with the opponent's offensive defense, Paris pulled away by four goals early on.
Wiegert took his first time-out after 15 minutes and asked his players to be braver.
But Paris was undeterred at all and was already clearly ahead at half-time.
During his second break, Wiegert grumbled about the many failed individual actions.
The SCM didn't even hit half of his throws, which was also due to the strong green.
PSG didn't let up after the change and even increased their lead to ten goals.
The SCM tried really hard, but was ultimately a class worse.
The two best of the two groups of eight move directly into the quarter-finals.
The teams in places three to six have to take the detour via the round of 16.
