Der SC Magdeburg macht das rein deutsche Champions-League-Finale perfekt!
Im zweiten Halbfinale in der Kölner Lanxess-Arena schlagen die Jungs von Trainer Bennet Wiegert (43) den FC Barcelona 31:30 (18:18). Damit treffen die Magdeburger am Sonntag (18 Uhr/Dyn) auf die Füchse Berlin. Ein Traum für jeden deutschen Handball-Fan!
Top-News schon vor dem Anpfiff: Superstar Gisli Kristjansson (25, linke Schulter) ist zurück in der SCM-Startformation. Seit seiner Verletzung am 1. Juni gegen Lemgo (31:29) wurde um die genaue Diagnose ein Geheimnis gemacht, jetzt spielt er von Beginn an.
Womöglich ein gutes Omen. Vor zwei Jahren war Kristjanssons Wunderheilung ein großer Faktor für den Champions-League-Triumph. Damals hatte sich Super-Gisli im Halbfinale gegen Barcelona die rechte Schulter ausgekugelt, spielte trotzdem sensationell im Finale.
[–>Die Spanier erwischen den besseren Start, führen nach 11 Minuten erstmals mit drei Toren (8:5). Magdeburg-Coach Bennet Wiegert (43) ist nicht zufrieden und nimmt beim Stand von 9:12 (17.) die erste Auszeit. Der begnadete Motivator mahnt noch relativ entspannt: „Abwehr ist nicht das, was wir uns vorgenommen haben. Bitte machen wir unsere Arbeit in der Abwehr.“
Doch Barcelona ist einfach stark – 83 Prozent Wurfeffektivität in den ersten 22 Minuten. Der Abstand schmilzt nicht. Im Gegenteil: 16:12 (23.).
Doch dann sieht Thiagus Petrus in der 26. Minute nach einem Wischer ins Gesicht von Super-Gisli die Rote Karte (26.). Und Magdeburg ist auf einmal wieder richtig im Spiel. Tim Hornke sorgt via Kempa-Trick mit Lukas Mertens für den Anschlusstreffer (16:17/27.). Zur Pause steht es tatsächlich 18:18. Diese Aufholjagd dürfte Magdeburg Mut machen.
Jetzt müssen nur noch die SCM-Torhüter in die Partie finden. Jeweils eine Parade in Hälfte eins von Sergey Hernández und Nikola Portner ist einfach zu wenig.
Gerade noch gerettet: Pikanter Versprecher von Handball-Kommentator
Portner präsentiert sich zunehmend stark (4 Monster-Paraden nach 45 Minuten). Magdeburg bleibt dran (24:24/46.), lässt sich von einem kurzzeitigen 3-Tore-Rückstand (21:24/42.) nicht aus dem Konzept bringen und feiert dank Omar Ingi Mangusson nach 47 Minuten endlich die erste Führung (25:24).
Crunchtime: Acht Minuten vor dem Ende liegt Barcelona wieder mit zwei Toren in Front (29:27). Kann der SCM das noch einmal aufholen? Ja! Mertens mit dem 29:29 (25.). Und Portner mit seinen verdammt wichtigen Paraden sechs und sieben.
Und dann wird es richtig wild: Barcelona sieht die zweite Rote Karte. 60 Sekunden vor Schluss steht 30:30. Achte Mega-Parade Portner. Noch elf Sekunden. Auszeit Wiegert. Und Tim Hornke ballert den SCM ins Finale! 31:30! Wahnsinn!

England make inroads to keep Ashes hopes alive despite superb Carey century
Alex Carey's superb century led Australia to 326-8 as a spirited England bowling display kept the tourists' faint Ashes hopes alive on the first day of the third Test in Adelaide.Trailing 2-0 in the five-match series after heavy defeats in Perth and Brisbane, England's hopes of making an unlikely comeback suffered a further blow when returning Australia captain Pat Cummins won the toss to earn the home side first hit in batting-friendly conditions. However, Ben Stokes' side defied the baking heat and seemingly flat surface at the Adelaide Oval to take regular wickets, with only Usman Khawaja (82) - called into the side at the last moment as a replacement for the unwell Steve Smith - and Carey (106) making proper use of the conditions. Score summary - Australia vs England, third Ashes Test Australia 326-8 after 83 overs in […]

Mekies vows to maintain aggressive Red Bull approach in post-Horner era
Red Bull boss Laurent Mekies said his team will push Formula 1's rules "to the limit and sometimes beyond" as he insisted the Milton Keynes squad will remain aggressive under his leadership.Mekies made an impressive start to his tenure after replacing Christian Horner in July, overseeing an upturn in results that enabled Max Verstappen to come within two points of pulling off a historic title battle comeback. Under Horner, who had been in charge of the team since it joined the grid in 2005, Red Bull developed a reputation for particularly fierce competitiveness, while the Brit himself was engaged in several feuds with rival team bosses. Having worked across several teams - including Ferrari - and even for the governing body, the FIA, during his 25 years in Formula 1, Mekies is a popular figure with strong relationships all over […]
V Česku to nevyšlo. Na trenéra má teď políčeno finský šampion, který zabojuje o Ligu mistrů
Muž, jenž v dubnu oslaví padesátku, se v Česku ohřál necelý rok. V srpnu 2024 možná nečekaně nahradil na lavičce Mladé Boleslavi Davida Holoubka. Tehdejší většinový majitel a současný předseda FAČR David Trunda si od Brännströma sliboval budování základů pro budoucnost klubu nebo hlubší propojení A-týmu s mládeží.Švédský kouč s Boleslaví nakonec těsně neprošel do vyřazovací fáze Konferenční ligy a v domácí soutěži bojoval ve spodní polovině tabulky.Působení ve městě automobilů definitivně skončilo začátkem dubna, dvě kola před koncem základní části. „Andreas měl významný podíl na našich úspěších, posunu klubu i kvalitní prezentaci v evropské soutěži. Respektuji jeho rozhodnutí, které pramení z osobních důvodů,“ uvedl Trunda.Více než osm měsíců je Brännström bez trenérské pozice. To by se ale rychle mohlo změnit. Podle švédského webu expressen.se je v hledáčku úřadujícího finského šampiona KuPS.Klub z Kuopia se údajně zajímá také o Eldara Abdulice, tam je ale nápadníků daleko více. Mezi KuPS a Brännströmem už mělo dojít k úvodnímu […]
