SC Magdeburg concedes Champions League clap against SPG

The German handball champion SC Magdeburg learned a lot in the Champions League.

Coach Bennett Wiegert’s team lost 22:29 (10:18) in their own hall against top French club Paris St. Germain.

After two victories at the start, it was the first major setback for the SCM, which is back in the premier class after almost 17 years.

It was already 3:7 after 13 minutes, Wiegert took his first time-out. “More courage in everything we do,” demanded the SCM trainer. When things didn’t get better, he snapped: “Less individual actions!”

His speeches were not fruitful, the air was out early. 18 of 23 attempts by the Parisians in the first 30 minutes ended up in the net.

Nikola Karabatic misses PSG due to corona infection

PSG goalkeeper Jannick Green, who was under contract with SCM for eight years and until last summer, was able to distinguish himself a few times at his old place of work.

The most successful Magdeburg thrower was national player Philipp Weber with seven goals.

The French had by no means arrived in top form. PSG recently suffered a defeat in the domestic league against Fenix ​​Toulouse for the first time since April 25, 2021.

Superstar Nikola Karabatic also signed off on the day of the game because of a corona infection.
