FC Barcelona lost last Wednesday the 27th against Magdeburg by a score of 28-23. After being up by five goals in the first half, Magdeburg managed to turn the match around and go into the break with an advantage. Despite a fairly even start to the second half, the German team ended up winning against Xavi Pascual’s team. This marked the Blaugrana club’s first defeat in the European Champions League classification, despite the fact that it still leads its group with seven wins, one draw and another defeat.
This Thursday the 5th, the Blaugranas face HC Zagreb, which is at the bottom of its group and is not having the best of seasons. The Croats come from losing against HBC Nantes, a team that lost the previous day against FC Barcelona. In turn, one of their two victories in the tournament is against Magdeburg, a team that beat the Spanish on the previous day.
