Mikkel Hansen, King retires without his most coveted crown

Mikkel Hansen, King retires without his most coveted crown

The story of the Aalborg HB left-back retiring from the Handball Champions League, the only title he still lacks, had already been written. Though reality outstripped fiction. His shot at the final buzzer of the final match against Barcelona hit the crossbar. It wasn't meant to be. At 36, he will no longer play in the competition. Hansen's next appearance will be at Paris 2024.
