[SPOILER ALERT]

 

 

Congrats to RK Vardar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RK_Vardar for winning the EHF Champions League! :o

Vardar is a Macedonian handball team and the sport is quite big in Macedonia, but they have never won the biggest European tournament in men's competition.

Matches with English commentary (the guy is crazy, it's amazing) can be seen live at ehf.tv

In the semi-final they beat 9-time European champions Barcelona 26-25 with a top corner goal with 4 seconds to go :yikes:

 

 

And in the final, PSG equalised with 7 seconds to go but PSG had put all their players up the field (including goalkeeper), so Vardar could throw the ball up the court into the goal and they would guarantee the win. You don't see this in the video below but the team coach accidentally called a time-out, meaning they would have to score within 7 seconds from the half-way line! And then this happened:

 

 

Obviously when they returned to Macedonia, it was a bit crazy:
