Germany’s Sporting Week: Women’s Handball Reach World Semis as Bayern Near Direct CL Spot and Face UEFA Action

Off-field discipline issues intersect with on-field gains to define a busy stretch for German teams.

Overview

  • Germany’s women beat Brazil 30:23 in Dortmund to reach their first World Championship semi-final since 2007, a milestone the DHB is using to push visibility and equality initiatives.
  • Bayern defeated Sporting Lisbon 3:1 to move within reach of a direct Champions League last‑16 berth, with Lennart Karl scoring again and Alphonso Davies making a late comeback after nearly nine months out.
  • After mass pyrotechnics in the Südkurve, Bayern CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen said a partial fan exclusion is expected at the next European home match under existing UEFA disciplinary conditions.
  • Eintracht Frankfurt lost 1:2 at Barcelona after leading through Ansgar Knauff, while reports described serious misconduct by some traveling supporters in the away section and called for sanctions.
  • Max Eberl signaled Bayern do not plan winter signings; Germany’s biathlon team’s poor Östersund start was downplayed by DSV’s Felix Bitterling as early-season form-building; Nürnberg coach Miroslav Klose left two senior strikers out based on performance.
