Regardless of an distinctive final third of the match during which he managed to beat a six-goal deficit, Barça fell this Sunday in further time of the Tremendous Globe last by 41-39 towards SC Magdeburg towards which he already fell final yr on the similar appointment. Regardless of this, the picture was fairly totally different and the group deserved extra with a champion response when the scenario was worse at 26-20 within the second half.

And the reality is that the primary half was an excessive amount of like that 2021 last, with a German group that attacked at will underneath the baton of a 25-year-old genius named Omar Ingi Magnusson. The Icelander, the most effective gamers on the planet and known as to be primary, alternated objectives with assists and with the imposition of the suitable rhythm always to complete with 12 objectives and because the nice star of the match.

The preliminary objectives from the Gauls N’Guessan (0-1) and Dika Mem (1-2) gave the one two benefits to the azulgranas.

His indications translated right into a outstanding enchancment, though it was tough for Gonzalo Pérez de Vargas to enter the match (nothing to do along with his nice semi-final towards Kielce) and Luka Cindric crashed time and again towards the 6-0 lead that former left-back Bennet Wiegert raised. Thus, an important aim by Blaz Janc made it 9-8 that appeared to ask a change of dynamics.

None of that occurred. Nicholas Portner, the son of the legendary former Blaugrana Zlatko (died in 2020)he closed his domains to lime and sing and the irruption of the specified Magnus Saugstrup (as a substitute for Fàbregas) within the pivot returned the 4 objectives of lease for the champions of the final version (16-12, min. 24).

Sadly for Barça, the sport got here again the identical means it ended within the first half, with one other two objectives from the Icelandic Kristjansson that left the scoreboard in a worrying 23-17 with possession for the Germans. They didn’t rating, however the drawback was not decreased even with three objectives in a row from Fàbregas (26-20 and one other timeout for Ortega).

As within the first half, the lifeless time had an impact and Barça instantly decreased their drawback to lower than half with objectives from an important Fàbregas, from an Ariño who additionally multiplied within the 5-1 defensive (nice success de Ortega) and two from an enrachado Aleix Gómez. With 27-25 with 18 minutes left, it was time to present one other push.

And Barça gave it. One other two objectives from Sabadell made the tie potential (28-28) and there have been two assaults to finish the comebacka, however they didn’t make the most of Emil Nielsen’s competition within the aim with out forgetting Haniel Langaro inflicting penalties with out interruption.

In these incomplete comebacks the rival finally ends up reacting and the Germans recovered the 2 objectives after Saugstrup robbed Dika Mem with 33-31 six minutes from the top. Regardless of this, an enormous Nielsen allowed a brand new tie (34-34) and one other assault to get forward that Ariño didn’t make the most of with 1:50 remaining.

A magical cross from Magnusson to Mertens, a penalty aim from Wanne (provoked by Fàbregas) and a save from Nielsen in a determined shot they took the match to further time with 35-35. Wonderful for the way in which issues have been.

After two errors by Fàbregas and Blaz Janc, Barça lastly took the lead with a penalty aim adopted by a courageous motion by the previous Kielce participant. Swedish Hampus Wanne he took benefit of it and the azulgranas gained by 36-37 (min. 63:35)one thing that had not occurred since 2-3. And he did it with Janc as central in a variation that Ortega loves.

An absence of focus allowed Kristjansson (nice match) to equalize on the buzzer on the finish of the primary a part of further time (38-38). A save by Portner towards Aleix Gómez in a counterattack, one other towards Hampus Wanne in a most penalty and the reappearance of Magnusson have been deadly for a Barça that ended up falling with all of the honors by 41-39.
