MT Melsungen in the European Cup: Hungarian duel against Ferencvaros!

The MT Melsungen is facing an exciting duel in the handball European arena! Today, November 11th, 2025, the team will play against Ferencváros Budapest. Kick-off is at 6:45 p.m. and the anticipation is great. The game not only promises explosive sporting action, but is also spiced with a certain Hungarian flair. Coach Roberto Garcia Parrondo convened long video sessions in preparation to prepare his team for the opponent in the best possible way.

The encounter is particularly important for some players on the Melsung team. The Hungarian players Adrian Sipos and goalkeeper Kristof Palasics know the opposing players very well, while Laszlo Bartucz also comes from Hungary. Palasics warns his team about the quick switching game that makes Ferencváros notorious. Sipos also gained personal experience as he shared a room with Gabor Ancsin from Budapest - an advantage that can be worth its weight in gold in such important games.

Strong form and top placement

The Melsungers are currently in great shape: after two wins in the league, including a thrilling last win against Minden and a home game against Lemgo, the team has gained a lot of self-confidence. Captain Timo Kastening emphasizes that it is essential to overcome Budapest's fast attacking game in order to be successful.

In the group table, MT Melsungen is convincingly at the top with four points. Left winger Florian Drosten is a real whiz kid: with a seven-meter penalty rate of over 83 percent, he has already caused a stir this season. His talent is particularly evident in his consistency - he has been reliably throwing seven meters since the D-Youth team, surpassing last year's "man without nerves", Ian Barrufet.

Health updates and a look at the next challenges

But there are also worry lines in the team: Armine Darmoul, who had to struggle with a torn cruciate ligament for a long time, held his knee in the last game in Minden. His appearance on Tuesday is still uncertain. Fortunately, according to the club's announcement, the knee didn't suffer any serious damage at first. The Melsungers have to concentrate on today's fight and at the same time keep an eye on the next challenges. After the important European Cup game, a Bundesliga duel against Hannover is on the agenda.

The tension is high and the whole team is ready to give it their all. If MT Melsungen plays as we are used to, the evening in the European Cup could be very pleasant! Let's be surprised to see how the duel against Ferencváros Budapest turns out! A thrilling handball night is coming!
