Bilyk for the premier class

“Anything can happen in these two days!”

Austria's handball team captain Nikola Bilyk, legionnaire at THW Kiel, returns to the triumphant site of the European Championship at the Champions League final tournament in Cologne. In the semi-final on Saturday, Barcelona will not only be the defending champions, but also the club that had him on their wish list.

Nikola Bilyk's longer list of successes includes "Champions League victory with THW Kiel 2020". A triumph with a blemish. Because Austria's handball team captain suffered a torn cruciate ligament, he was only able to attend the final tournament in Cologne as one of the few spectators (coronavirus ensured empty stands).
