EHF European League
Nantes suffer shock elimination with fourth loss
The reigning champions of the EHF European League Women suffered a shock exit after the group phase of the competition, with their fourth loss, 27:28, against MKS Zaglebie Lubin.
The loss meant that CS Minaur Baia Mare progressed to the quarter-finals, at the expense of the French champions.
We are happy about the win. It's just sad that we cannot take the points earlier because we were really not so far away, and yeah, we are happy
Today, we did not put enough intensity, we did not put the intensity of a European League match necessary to play a team like Lubin. We said that this Polish team was going to come with pride to do something in their last game and that's exactly what happened. We weren't able to answer.
