SG BBM Bietigheim found the right recipe for the Danish teams. After eliminating Ikast in the play-offs, the German team beat Odense Håndbold in the first leg of the EHF Champions League Women 2023/34 quarter-finals.

The home team had a blistering start, but Odense staged a comeback and never let Bietigheim loosen up, despite getting their hand on a seven-goal lead. Left wing Antje Döll and goalkeeper Gabriela Moreschi lifted their teammates past Odense in crucial moments, giving their side a first-ever win against Odense.
