Magdeburg CL champions after drama

In the final, Magdeburg defeated Polish Kielce 30–29 after a tight and eventful overtime. Icelander Gisli Thorgeir Kristjansson was the big hero, scoring the decisive goal with barely two minutes left to play.

— We really gave it our all. God, how tough it was. It’s a dream come true, says Magdeburg’s Kay Smits to TV10.

In Magdeburg, which reached the final via an equally dramatic penalty shootout in the semi against Barcelona, ​​Daniel Pettersson played the entire match while Oscar Bergendahl got less playing time.

In the bronze medal match, Barcelona defeated Paris SG 37–31.
