Qualification for the VELUX EHF Champions League 2011/12: German runners-up<br />

Qualification for Last 16: winner of Group D<br />

The road to the Last 16: The 2009/10 winners of the VELUX EHF Champions League<br />

needed some time to get started in the Group Phase, taking just three points from<br />

three matches (including a home defeat against Montpellier and a draw at Leon), but<br />

the Germans showed their real quality soon enough.<br />

Six straight victories followed including wins at Montpellier and against Kobenhavn at<br />

home where they took the first place in the group before the final duel at Kobenhavn<br />

where, after a tough clash in Denmark, a draw was enough to finish first.<br />
