Despite its advantage in the first leg, the BBH cracked on Sunday during the return play-off of the Champions Handball League against the Hungarians of Ferencvaros (31-26).
End of course already for the Brest handball players in the Champions League: so dominant for weeks, Pauletta Foppa’s band was overthrown on Sunday by the Hungarians of Ferencvaros (31-26) in the return play-off in Finistère.
Even if the BBH had left the best impression and took the advantage after its victory last weekend in Budapest (30-28), it will not see the quarter-finals of C1 for the second year in a row, after its elimination against Esbjerg last year.
Leader of the French championship ahead of Metz, Brest had been undefeated since October in all competitions.
Directly qualified for the quarters after finishing in first place in their group B, the Messines inherit CSM Bucharest from Bleues Grace Zaadi, Laura Glauser and Laura Flippes, who fell to the Slovenes of Krim Ljubljana in the play-offs.
