When SC Magdeburg returned to the winners’ podium of the Machineseeker EHF Champions League on 15 June 2025 in Cologne, there was one player who stood above all: goalkeeper Sergey Hernandez. His 18 saves in the final against Füchse Berlin paved the way for the 32:26 victory.

One day before, in the 31:30 semi-final victory against record winners Barça, Nikola Portner was the hero, with his eight crucial saves in crunch time. Both of them were there when it counted.
