After a two month hiatus, Paris Saint-Germain returned to the Machineseeker EHF Champions League with a hard-fought 33:30 win against PPD Zagreb. Ahead of the winter break, the group A leaders were stopped by SC Magdeburg after eight straight wins and they needed to get back on track. Despite several missing players, they managed to stop Slavko Goluža's PPD Zagreb who fought throughout all 60 minutes with a strong defensive display.
