SC Magdeburg Faces Crisis After Third Consecutive Defeat

The reigning German handball champions struggle with poor performances, jeopardizing their Champions League campaign and domestic dominance.

SC Magdeburg suffered a 22-18 defeat against HC Zagreb in the Champions League, marking their third consecutive loss across all competitions.
The team is now in danger of missing the Champions League Round of 16, sitting second to last in their group standings.
Coach Bennet Wiegert criticized the team's lack of intensity and poor shooting, with a first-half success rate of just 28%.
Previous losses include a Bundesliga defeat to league leaders MT Melsungen and elimination from the DHB-Pokal by THW Kiel.
Upcoming matches against Bundesliga second-place Hannover-Burgdorf and undefeated FC Barcelona in the Champions League will test Magdeburg's ability to recover.
