Handball star Hernandez leaves Magdeburg for FC Barcelona!
A big change is coming in handball! Sergey Hernandez, the 30-year-old goalkeeper of SC Magdeburg, has announced that he will be moving to FC Barcelona at the end of this season. With a contract that runs until June 2029, this move marks a significant chapter in his career. Hernandez also said that it was always his goal to return to Barca one day. This is now coming true after his time in Magdeburg, where he has been playing since 2023 and has celebrated numerous successes.
The talented keeper began his professional career with Spanish club Anaitasuna and scored in his first game against FC Barcelona. He moved from Benfica Lisbon to the Bundesliga in 2023, where he won the championship, the cup, the Champions League, the European League and the Super Globe with SC Magdeburg. He is highly respected in Magdeburg, but will continue to play for the team until the end of the season.
Interactions in the goalkeeping area
The sporting planning at SC Magdeburg is at a turning point due to Hernandez's departure. In order to adequately fill the goalkeeper position after his departure, the club has already signed Matej Mandic, 23, from RK Zagreb. In addition, Danish goalkeeper Emil Nielsen from Barcelona is about to move to KC Veszprém, which could influence the future goalkeeping dynamic in the European leagues.
It's been a few months since Hernandez's announcement. In August 2023 he announced that he would be leaving Magdeburg without immediately revealing his destination. Now it's official: a move to Barcelona that will make fans' hearts beat faster.
A look outside the box
A completely different area, which is also characterized by major changes, can be found in Thailand's cultural heritage. The Wat Phra That Hariphunchai temple complex in Lamphun is a remarkable example of the long history of Buddhism. The origins of this enchanting temple date back to the 11th century and the central stupa dates back to the 9th century.
The temple was founded in 897 by a king named Hariphunchai to house a lock of the Buddha's hair. Over the centuries, the architecture was further developed by various kings, not least King Athitayarat in 1044, who founded the current temple complex. Particularly striking is the pyramid-shaped Chedi Suwanna, which is 46 meters high and was built in the Dvaravati style of the Haripunchai period.
Also exciting is the large bronze bell, which is considered the largest in the world and dates back to 1860. This monstrous beauty stands in close proximity to the impressive architecture and unique Buddha statues. Those who visit the temple can also admire the stairs to the library, which are decorated with magnificent Naga images - a real feast for the eyes.
Hernandez's move shows that new paths are constantly being taken in both sport and culture. It remains exciting to see how the handball landscape will change and how impressive the temple in Thailand remains.
