Exciting finale in the handball Bundesliga: Who will be champions?
Today, June 8, 2025, the Handball Bundesliga faces an exciting season finale that is attracting the attention of fans in Germany. In the championship race, the Füchse Berlin and SC Magdeburg go into the final game as the main players. The Foxes need a draw against the Rhein-Neckar Löwen to secure their first championship title in the Daikin Handball Bundesliga. SC Magdeburg, on the other hand, has the task of winning against SG BBM Bietigheim and hoping that the Füchse will lose.
Both teams have already qualified for the upcoming Champions League, which increases the excitement even more. While the Füchse Berlin face the Lions in their last game of the season on Sunday at 3 p.m., SC Magdeburg is challenged to score points in Bietigheim. The Bundesliga table shows that VfL Potsdam is relegated, and TVB Stuttgart, HC Erlangen and Bietigheim are fighting for the remaining two Bundesliga tickets. TVB Stuttgart is currently in 17th place and is level on points with Erlangen, while Bietigheim is on the safe path to relegation with 17 points.
Knorr's farewell and Wiencek's end to his career
Particular attention is paid to Juri Knorr, who will play his last game with the Rhein-Neckar Löwen against Berlin before moving to Aalborg HB. Knorr has already confirmed the Lions as the perfect place for his career and said in a survey that he sees Magdeburg as champions, but at the same time wants his team not to lose. Coach Sebastian Hinze shares this view and sees the opportunity to be decisive in the championship race.
Patrick Wiencek from THW Kiel, on the other hand, will end his career with a win against Eisenach. The experienced player has won six championships in 500 Bundesliga games and reached the Champions League in 2020. His departure will be regretted by many fans and players in the league.
The top scorers in the league
Marko Grgic from ThSV Eisenach leads the top scorer list with 292 goals, followed by Mathias Gidsel with 265 goals. In comparison, Kyung-Shin Yoon holds the record for most goals in a season with 324 goals from the 2000/01 season. This shows the high level of competition in the league, which is not only characterized by championship ambitions but also by the relegation battle.
The last games of this handball season finale promise not only exciting duels, but also emotional farewells to deserving players. Juri Knorr, an outstanding player for the Lions, and Patrick Wiencek, a true veteran of the sport, will be in focus in the coming days. The fans and experts watched with excitement to see how the championship race and the relegation battles would develop. ZVW reports that the tension in the Bundesliga is far from easing.
