Austria's handball women are subject to Norway-rise in danger!

A frustrating weekend for Austrian sport: The handball women had to surrender to defending champion Norway with 24:38 in the second game of the European Championship in Innsbruck. Despite an appealing start, in which the hosts in the Olympic Hall filled with 3,730 spectators, the class difference was shown in the course of the game. Austria was initially able to shorten to 11:14, but Norwegian superiority prevailed. The defensive weaknesses and the dominance of the world handball player Henny Reitstad could not be compensated for, which led to a clear defeat, as well as OE24 reported .

Manchester City in Chaos

At the same time there is unrest at Manchester City: the defending champion in the Champions League could not get over a 3: 3 draw against Feyenoord Rotterdam, although one was 3-0 up to the 75th minute. After a catastrophic final section and the loss of three goals conceded, whistles hailed from the disappointed fans. Coach Pep Guardiola showed herself angered after the game: "Of course we understand that," he said, and found that the team was "fragile". This was the sixth game in a row without victory-a unique situation in his career, such as The press reported . The upcoming games in the Champions League and the Premier League could decide whether City succeeds in direct qualifications for the round of 16 or not.

The situation is extremely tense for both, Austria's handball women and Manchester City. While the women have to play a “bonus game” against Slovenia on Monday, Manchester City is facing a crucial week that could decide on future titles. The pressure is growing and expectations are high. It remains to be seen whether they have grown these challenges.
