The German handball champion SC Magdeburg has already secured participation in the quarter-finals of the Champions League before its group final against Dinamo Bucharest.
Due to Telekom Veszprem’s 35:37 at leaders Paris Saint-Germain, coach Bennet Wiegert’s team can no longer be pushed out of second place in Group A before the duel with the Romanian champion on Thursday evening (8:45 p.m. / DAZN).
The Magdeburgers avoid the playoff round, the team from Saxony-Anhalt is among the top eight teams in Europe for the first time since 2004. The SCM celebrated its greatest triumph two years earlier, when it triumphed in the premier class for the last time.
