Even before the top game between SC Magdeburg and Rhein-Neckar Löwen (38:24), the Magdeburg fans have reason to celebrate. The SC announces the contract extension with Albin Lagergren (31) until 2028. The fans go wild and reward with minutes of applause.
At halftime, SC managing director Marc-Henrik Schmedt talks about the extension with the Swede: “He is a fanatical handball player, a fantastic person. It is a building block for the coming years. He feels comfortable here. It fits.”
Club boss settles accounts with Magdeburg star at halftime!
Whoever wants to stay with Magdeburg: Michael Damgaard (33). The SC star said in the BILD interview during the week: “I’m a little surprised at how long it’s taking. It is now December and nothing has been resolved. Of course I have to think about how long I’ll keep saying no to other offers.”
Now the rumms answer from the Magdeburg boss!
Marc-Henrik Schmedt asked about the interview on the Dyn microphone: “We were very irritated by what was in the newspaper. The conversations are very stressful not only for him, but also for us. We all know what he has done for the club in recent years. Everyone wants to have him on their team. But it really irritated us to talk about his employer like that in public. If you arrange to meet on Tuesday to sign and then give an interview like that on Monday, then I just don’t think that’s okay.”

And further: “The story is now over, we don’t hold any grudges either. But I don’t think that’s appropriate. Hook it.”
Really? Damgaard was not brought on against the Lions and sat out for 60 minutes.
Clear words from the boss! The result is also clear on the record. Magdeburg clearly beats the Lions 38:24. A show of force!
The guests quickly despair of Magdeburg keeper Nikola Portner. The Frenchman was a sure support from the start, making five saves in less than ten minutes. Mega! The SC takes an early 6-goal lead – also thanks to Paraden-Portner!
A clear affair in the second half too. National player Juri Knorr and his team were defeated in front of 6,600 spectators.
