    Welcome to everybody to the live report for the match of the Champions League which opposes this evening the HC Fribourg Gottéron to the Eisbären Berlin.
    This is the first match in Fribourg.
    My name is Paolo and I'm going to give you details about the match all along the game. Enjoy!
    An hour before the start...

    Official Twitter of Eisbären Berlin followed the trip to Fribourg all the way.

    Good evening everybody!!

    My name is Paolo and I'm going to give you details about the match which will start in less than 24h.
    The match will oppose HC Fribourg Gottéron to Eisbären Berlin at BCF Arena (Fribourg, Switzerland).

    Both teams have lost their first game of this Champions League: Fribourg after overtime (on Thursday in Stockholm) and Berlin after penalties (vs PSG Zlin).
    So, because both teams would amend from defeat during 1st CHL game, the match of tomorrow looks promising!

    For information, last year Fribourg went out in Swiss playoff semi-finals, while Berlin lost in the German playoff qualification.

    In addition, the big transfer Jeff Tambellini is injured since a couple of weeks. So, Fribourg should prove that can start the Swiss championship without its foreigner.

    Stay tuned and see you tomorrow at 19h45!
     
    Welcome. Game starts at 19:45.
