FEATURE: SC Magdeburg’s former left wing and current assistant coach looks back on the happy and unhappy years with his club and the only duel against their upcoming MOTW opponent PSG
When SC Magdeburg host Paris Saint-Germain in the third MOTW of the Machineseeker EHF Champions League season on Wednesday (20:45 CEST, live on EHFTV), the match will bring back some very old memories. Never before have the sides clashed in the Champions League, and their only duels were back in the 2004/05 season when SCM won 30:25 at Paris and 36:23 at home in the third round of the EHF Cup.
Looking upon those 18-year-old squad lists, two names are still involved at Magdeburg: defence boss Steffen Stiebler, now part of the club administration as head of sports, and left wing Yves Grafenhorst, today assistant coach of Bennet Wiegert and coordinator of Magdeburg’s youth programme.
