Elverum Handball 26-30 Barça: Brilliant away win!

Barça win their tenth Champions League game and are sole Group A leaders

Barça's first European triumph in 2020 came after beating Elverum Handball 26-30. Xavi Pascual's team are now at the top of the Group A standings with 20 points, two more than MOL Pick Szeged and Paris Saint-Germain, who have 18. In this hard-fought victory, Ariño and Aleix Gómez stood out, with six goals each.

The visitors turned the game around after half-time, with success from long range. Palmarsson and Entrerríos put Barça ahead by four in the second half, but Elverum were dogged in staying in the match before a late flurry finally put the game beyond them.
