SC Magdeburg: Coach Wiegert fights for Champions League goals!

Things are looking rather bleak for SC Magdeburg in the Champions League so far! Despite only one win from six games, coach Bennet Wiegert is optimistic that his team can still qualify for the round of 16. Ahead of the decisive duel against RK Zagreb on Wednesday at 6:45 p.m., Wiegert emphasizes that it remains the team's top priority to take both competitions seriously. “We are not giving up on the competition and are not just concentrating on the Bundesliga,” explains the coach resolutely.

The situation is tense because the goal of securing one of the first two places in the group phase and thus moving straight into the quarter-finals seems to become more distant with every further defeat. However, Wiegert remains confident: “I have confidence in the boys and know that they can still score.” He also points to the narrow defeat against Barcelona, ​​which promises more success than the result suggests. “We have to make maximum use of the competition,” demands Wiegert.

A race against time

The upcoming opponent Zagreb is seen as a decisive hurdle for the coveted round of 16 participation. “The table clearly shows that we are missing points and we now have to get points, no matter what the opponent is called,” said Wiegert. The Magdeburgers have already suffered two bitter defeats in home games. A win against Zagreb is therefore essential to maintain the chances of the knockout round. The clock is ticking and Magdeburg has to give everything to turn things around in the Champions League!
