Qualification for the VELUX EHF Champions League 2011/12: French Champion<br />

Qualification for the Last 16: fourth placed in Group D<br />

The road to the Last 16: Rank four was much less than expected for the French<br />

champions – but especially their two home defeats against Kiel and Kobenhavn and<br />

losing at Szeged and Leon were the reasons for this uncomfortable position of one of<br />

the biggest contenders for the VELUX EHF FINAL4 2011/12.<br />

Even the surprising victory at Kiel at the start of the competition could not bring more<br />

stability to Karabatic and his side.<br />
