SC Magdeburg crowns the Champions League winner-a triumphant fight!
Magdeburg, Deutschland - The SC Magdeburg fought again at the top of Europe and won the Champions League - for the third time after 2002 and 2023. In the exciting final against the Foxes Berlin, the SCM prevailed on June 16, 2025 in Cologne with 32:26 (16:12). The victory was not only another title, but also an impressive answer to the difficult season that the team lived through.
This triumph was particularly important, since the Füchse Berlin recently won the title of German champion and SC Magdeburg now referred them to second place in international competition. Coach Bennet Wiegert praised his team and described the victory as "balm on our souls" after the many tight defeats in the current season. He plans to put the celebrations in the hands of others and treat himself some rest, which is more than deserved in this season, which is characterized by injuries and emotional setbacks.a powerful comeback
The season led SC Magdeburg through a real change of feelings. The various injuries to their top performers represented a constant challenge - at times even seven players were missing. Unexpected defeats in the league and also in international competition did not make the situation easier. In addition, the club was deeply shaken by an attack on the Christmas market in Magdeburg in December, in which six people lost their lives.
Despite the adversity, SC Magdeburg demonstrated resilience. The team fought back in the Champions League after suffering several setbacks. Wiegert emphasized the "enormous resistance" of his players and said that the combination of a clear style of play and the ability to stay calm was the key to success. The spectacular comeback against Veszprem and the dramatic Buzzer-Theater victory against Barcelona in the semifinals were also evidence of the fighter heart of the SCM.
a final full of thrill
In the crucial game against the foxes, both SC Magdeburg and Berlin began nervous, which led to numerous technical mistakes in the first few minutes. However, the foxes were unable to take advantage of these mistakes, since their goalkeeper Dejan Milosavljev did not parelnate a single goal, while Magdeburg's Sergey Hernandez confidently performed the lead in the goal and helped his team. The best thrower of the game, Gisli Kristjansson, shone with his eight goals and was even voted MVP of the final weekend. Despite a serious shoulder injury, which grasped him just two weeks before the final Four, he showed an impressive performance and once again demonstrated its importance for the team.
The game wiped back and forth, but the lead of the Magdeburgers was never seriously at risk. Omar Ingi Magnusson converted a decisive seven meter to 31:26 and thus sealed the glorious victory.
With this third Champions League, SC Magdeburg not only gains another prestigious tournament, but also shows that despite adversity and a challenging season, they are at the top again. The Magdeburg mentality, shaped by strength and team spirit, has proven itself once again and gives fans hope for a successful future.
The SC Magdeburg has won the World Cup twice the German championship, once the DHB Cup and now the Champions League twice. In the future it should remain exciting how the team will develop under the leadership of Wiegert.
