We learn the 2025/26 Champions Handball League final four semi-final set. The draw has selected some very interesting pairings and the German clash between SC Magdeburg and Fuchs Berlin evokes the most emotion. The final tournament will take place on June 13-14 at the legendary Lanxess Arena in Cologne.
Europe’s top four teams will fight for the trophy
After many months of competition in the EHF Champions League, only four teams remain in the game:
- SC Magdeburg
- Fox Berlin
- FC Barcelona
- Aalborg Handball
All teams advanced directly to the quarterfinals due to their high position in the group stage. The most exciting quarter-finals were Berlin and Aalborg, which were decided after extremely tight two-leg matches. Barcelona and Magdeburg head into the final four with much more confidence.
Final Four EHF Champions League Semi Final Draw Results
Semi-Finals – Saturday, June 13
- SC Magdeburg – Foxes Berlin (3:00 PM)
- Aalborg Handball – FC Barcelona (6:00 p.m.)
It’s the German semi-final that promises to be the biggest hit of the tournament. It will also be a rematch of last year’s final, where Magdeburg beat Berliners 32:26 to win their fifth title in history.
Magdeburg v. Fuchse. A rematch of the finals and a duel of giants
SC Magdeburg will enter the tournament as the defending champions. Bennett Wiegert’s team has been among the European leaders in recent years and has once again confirmed its class.
On the other hand, Fuchs Berlin will have Matthias Giedsel, considered the best handball player in the world. The Berliners have extra motivation as it was Magdeburg who robbed them of their dream of winning in Cologne last year.
Interestingly, in the current Bundesliga season, Magdeburg have beaten Fuchsje twice, so it is difficult to identify clear favourites. This is the first time in the history of the Final Four that two German teams will meet in the semi-finals.

Alberg will try to break the curse of Barcelona
Aalborg Handbold will face Barcelona in the second semi-final.
The Danes will appear in the Final Four for the third time in their history and will still be dreaming of their first Champions League win. The problem is that Barcelona stand in their way again – a team that has already been stripped of their most valuable trophy twice.
In the final of the 2023/24 season, the Catalans won in 31:30 minutes after a very exciting match. Earlier, Barcelona beat Aalborg 36:23 in the final of the 2020/21 edition.
The Pride of Catalonia remain the competition’s record holders with eleven wins and will appear in the final four for the eighth time in a row. The Spanish are among the main candidates to win the title again.
Championship cast of the tournament
This year’s Final Four gathered the true elite of European handball.
SC Magdeburg, Barcelona and Aalborg won their respective national championships, while Fuchse Berlin finished the Bundesliga season just behind Magdeburg. Each participant has logic to think about the ultimate victory.

PakarPBN
A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.
In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.
The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.
