Ambitious Nantes bolstered by star signings EHF / Chris O Reilly03 January 2021, 12:00 Share URL via E-Mail Copy URL to clipboard For just the second time in the club’s history, Nantes have reached the group phase of Europe’s second-tier club competition. The last time they got this far, in 2017, they progressed to the quarter-finals, where they lost by a single goal to Metzingen, this season’s goal is to emulate that run. “Playing the EHF European League is already a motivation in itself! As our group is quite homogeneous, it will make all the matches complicated and pressured. It is really motivating to play matches where we know that each victory or defeat will have an impact on the qualification and I think the quarter-finals are within our reach,” says captain Marion Maubon.
