Fuchse Berlin – Magdeburg is the final of the Champions League! How did a day-recorded day show at the end of the Koln Four

For 16 years, half June, for a weekend, the city of Koln has another cathedral. The miracle of the Gothic architecture passes in the second plane.

All the attention is directed to the Lanxess Arena, the jewel designated to host the Final Four of the Champions League for men's handball.

Highteous assistance record Four from Koln

Over 20,000 fans, a reproachable organization. From the first, the mixture of T -shirts jumps in your eyes. Harmony between theoretically Rivali fans, a brotherhood of handball. A Catalan is asked to pose a group of Berlin fans, 3 young people dressed in Magdeburg's T -shirts speak superlatively by the Gidsel rival.

In the first semifinal we have Fuchse and Nantes.

The “foxes” have just won the first title in history in the Bundesliga, have the least lot problems. And have Gidsel, a magician as rarely seen on the semicircle. She is the favorite of the experts, including Lekic, who came from the Neagu Gala to the Handball Gala.

Nantes, a surprise presence, but with potential. And with a gallery prepared by the carnival. Only a storm alert has gathered people faster in the room.

Here the “Hurricane” Gidsel started. The French took him hard, an aggressive defense man in man. Mathias scored two goals, pulled out two eliminations in the first 5 minutes and forced a tactic change.

The chance came from where they didn't expect. In the 9th minute, Fix Gidsel slipped on his own semicircle. He hit his opponent, and after consulting Var, the referees gave him red.

The first half remained in the control of the “foxes”. The goalkeeper Dejan Milosavljev removed from all positions, alone with the opponent in the extreme, on the pivot, he looked alone in the room.

At the break, Fuchse was leading 18-12.

Gidsel, in the lawn

Another a bit about fair play. After elimination, Gidsel watched the match in the lawn. While heading for the locker rooms, the Magdeburg Rival Gallery rose and applauded.

The difference was even clearer in the second half. 20,074 fans, a record of the competition, amused at the parades of Milosavljev.

15 interventionsout of 39 throws had Dejan Milosavljev in the semi -final with Nantes

In Nantes's camp only the drummers worked, so Fuchse paraded to the Sunday final, Triumf 34-24. By the way of the French gallery. In the end, he welcomed the victory of opponents with great warmth and sincere applause.

Show before Barcelona – Magdeburg

Beyond handball, at Koln is a show. In the break between the matches there was a true concert. Fire, lasers, light games formed by the bracelets received by each spectator. A sample below. Because a one -minute clip makes as much as a 3 -page text:

Barcelona and Magdeburg, the last two winners of the trophy, started hard. Contrary to the two direct disputes in the group, when the porters had been highlighted.

Now, Dika Mem and Domen Makuc forced the Germans to ask for time-out after a quarter of an hour.

At 17-15 in favor of the Catalans, Petrus, a defensive basic man, was permanently eliminated. The answer? A parade of Nielsen!

Petrus, eliminated

At the cabins came with an equal result, 18-18, despite the 7 goals of Mem.

Magdeburg took over the lead for the first time in the 47th minute, recovery and counterattack of Omar Igni Magnusson. At the next action, Dika Mem was taken out of colleagues from the field.

Equality at the entrance in the last 10 minutes and the blood of the predator of Emil Nielsen. The Danish goalkeeper risked with a throw from his own semicircle for 28-27, then removed a ball and triggered a carlsbogard counterattack.

Only the Germans are ready only when you see them climbing in the tractors that finally sponsor the Four. A little momentum on the part of the referees, a sticky palm of the goalkeeper Nikolas Portner and everything became dramatically. At 29-29, Nielsen defended a 7 meters. Equality and in the 57th minute.

Catalan fans did not believe. At the same offensive action, in two different times, Carlsbogard and Wanne saw the red cards. Both decisions with the help of video arbitration. The blow from 7 meters was transformed, Porner did his job.

Magdeburg had 12 seconds with double superiority and scheme drawn at time-out. Fixed before the siren trigger, Hornke threw Nielsen's foot. 31-30, and on Sunday, from 7:00 pm, we have a German final at Koln.

It also entered the extensions, on the terraces around the arena. Again, fans mixed and now joined by two goals: beer as cold and handball as intense as possible.
