Metz has qualified for the Champions League final, Saturday, by defeating Bucarest 32-27 in Budapest. In contrast, it will not be a 100% French final since Brest lost to the Hungarian giant, Gyor, the reigning European champion, by a narrow margin (31-30). Chloé Valentini and her teammates quickly took the lead in this semi-final, leading 17-13 at halftime. Like their captain (4/4 in the first period) and under the impetus of an unstoppable Johanna Bundsen in goal (17 saves on 41 shots over 41%), the Messines never doubted in this match and always kept the Romanians at a safe distance. "We made 60 minutes of remarkable football, we were above in all sectors of the game, so the result is logical," said the Lorraine goalkeeper, who praised the "crazy atmosphere" in the MVM Dome in Budapest. "Today's goal was to be in the final and we're already looking forward to tomorrow," she concluded in an interview with Eurosport after the match. Brest was only one goal away from winning. The Brest team led by Raphaëlle Tervel can be disappointed. If the Breton players chased Gyor for most of the match, they managed to take the lead at the 42nd minute on an interception and a counter-attack by the German Annika Lott, who was impeccable throughout the match. When they lost their captain, Oriane Ondono, in the 22nd minute for a red card after a face-to-face with the brilliant Bruna de Sousa, the Hungarians also received the same sanction against the same Brazilian for a new face-to-face, this time against Méline Nocandy. The two teams played evenly, but the Hungarians, defending their title, probably turned the match in their favor with their experience. They will face Metz on Sunday, a team they have already played and beaten twice during the group stage, while Brest will face Bucarest in the small final.
