Foxes Berlin in the Champions League final: Gidsel's shock and triumph!

Köln, Deutschland - The Foxes Berlin wrote history on June 14, 2025 by standing in the Champions League final. After an impressive 34:24 win (18:12) in the semi-finals against HBC Nantes, you have now fought for the chance for the title. This final marks the first in the club's history of the foxes, which recently won the German championship and traveled to Cologne with great confidence.

In the semifinals, the team was able to convince primarily through a strong performance by goalkeeper Dejan Milosavljev, who contributed decisively to victory with 17 parades. The foxes dominated the game, led at halftime and no longer gave control of the game. After 42 minutes, the score was already 24:15, which spoke for a clear victory. Lars Andersson and the other players were in duty and showed a closed team performance even without their superstar Mathias Gidsel.

Gidsel's injury -related failure

However, an injury overshadowed the game: Gidel, who is one of the best handball players in the world, injured himself after only nine minutes when he was trying to defend when he slipped on the smooth ground and hit Kauldi Odriozola. The Danish superstar then received a red card and was comforted by his team -mate Lasse Andersson before taking a seat in the stands for the rest of the game. Despite these setbacks, the team was able to successfully continue their course and qualify for the final.

The second semi -finals took place between FC Barcelona and SC Magdeburg. Barcelona, ​​as a defending champion, was declared favorite, while Magdeburg increased the chance of a purely German final. This competes on Sunday, accompanied by a game for third place. Both games are broadcast by streaming providers Dyn and on the Free TV of DF1.

expectations and challenges

The anticipation for the final is great. Manager Bob Hanning had expressed his belief two months ago to win the Champions League. The foxes are faced with the challenge of playing in the final against SC Magdeburg or FC Barcelona - both teams that have shown strong performances.

It will be particularly exciting how the team will do without Gidsel. While Magdeburg's Gisli Thorgir Kristjansson is struck and remains unclear whether he can play, the foxes put great hopes for Lukas Herburger, who, despite his own ankle injury, showed a strong performance in the defense. The final promises to become an exciting duel between the best teams in European handball.

The fan community of the Foxes Berlin is in a bright excitement and hopes for a crowning glory of the season, which has already been drawn by a championship title. It will soon be shown whether the foxes can achieve the big goal.
