Alina Greisels (27 years old) plays in the central position in Metz, but can also take on the role of the right wing.

“In the 2021-2022 EHF Champions League season, he had a very good evolution in the shirt of Borussia Dortmund, scoring a total of 84 goals, although his team was stopped in the play-offs by the ‘quarter’ of Metz.

A season later, Dortmund did not play in the Champions League again, but Greisels was one of the engines of the team all the way to the Final 4 of the EHF Europa League.

The Mets did not forget Alina’s game from last year’s double, especially at home, when she scored 9 goals, and in the summer of 2023 received the signature of the German center.

The captain of her country’s national team, Greisels was one of the key players for Germany at the World Cup at the end of last year, with whom she finished 6th, scoring 3 times and against Romania.

La Metz had a plus following the results of the regular season of the EGF Champions League. She was one of the best players in her team and scored important goals in the last three stages against strong teams in the group: 5 with Esbjerg, 4 with Ikast, 4 with FTC.

As such, he contributed greatly to the tour de force that secured Metz first place in their group in the regular season of the Champions League,” writes CSM Bucharest.”

CSM Bucharest is in first place in the Romanian championship (six points behind Rapid, in 2nd place), qualified for the quarter-finals of the Romanian Cup and the 1/8 finals of the Champions League (match with Metz).
