Loud Romanian fortress

Rapid Bucuresti are unbeaten at home this season, having only dropped one point in a 32:32 draw against Metz in round 2. In their first EHF Champions League season, Carlos Viver's team are showing off their skills and strength.

They have taken down two top teams – Györi Audi ETO KC and Team Esbjerg – as well as Storhamar and now Buducnost. With loud support from the stands, which gives every player goose bumps, it is no wonder why the second Bucharest-based team have an additional wind when they play at home.
