Tonight's MOTW represents the first time the teams have met in any European cup competition. They did face each other in one international tournament — the IHF Super Globe in 2016, when Füchse beat PSG in the final to clinch their second trophy in a row.
With that clash taking place eight years ago, the teams have changed significantly since then, and we have little idea what to expect tonight.
The teams have similar records in the EHF Champions League 2024/25, with PSG counting four wins and Berlin three. Neither team have drawn in their five games played so far. Last round, Füchse lost to Sporting while PSG beat Dinamo. Both also lost to Veszprém — Berlin in the season opener by one goal and PSG in round 2 by a decisive 13 goals.

One player taking the court tonight for MOTW has a particularly interesting story: PSG back Dani Baijens, who has returned to the Champions League after last playing the top flight in 2018/19 with Flensburg. Back then, Baijens played limited time and scored three goals total in his appearances — a figure he has already passed this season.
Since 2018/19, Baijens has become a household name in handball, as part of the unprecedented Dutch generation who have put the Netherlands men's team on the map.
Baijens was the star of our MOTW feature this week, talking about his return to the Champions League, what happened in the years since he was last in the competition, and coming back to Germany for the game against Füchse. Check it out below!
