Who will be champions in 2024?
In the Bundesliga the question has been almost clarified. In two other German top leagues, however, things are really tight!

In the Liqui Moly Handball Bundesliga It all boils down to a thrilling duel between Magdeburg and Berlin.
In the Easycredit Basketball-Bundesliga Top favorite Bayern can only beat themselves. Like on Sunday against sensational newcomers Vechta. Does the competitor Alba & Co. use this?
SPORT BILD looks at the brilliant final spurt in the HBL and BBL.
Kretzsche: “HBL decision on the last match day”
Crackling in the HBL championship match? Magdeburg makes it possible! Thanks to Sunday’s win in the cracker against Füchse Berlin (31:28), the SCM is now only one point behind leaders Berlin. And still has a game in hand.
SCM coach Bennet Wiegert (42): “I don’t want to downplay it, it was important to keep everything in our own hands.” Because: If Magdeburg doesn’t make any slip-ups in their last eleven games, they are champions.
World champion and Dyn expert Pascal Hens (43): “I now see advantages in Magdeburg. They have a slightly easier rest program than the foxes and a broader chest.”

The foxes don’t want to admit defeat. Because the pursuers Flensburg (4 points behind first place) and defending champion Kiel (7 points) made mistakes too often, the Berliners are practically the only ones who can still stop the SCM.
Füchse coach Jaron Siewert (30): “We will get up again, the season is not over yet.”
His boss Stefan Kretzschmar (51): “I think it will remain exciting until the last match day. Hopefully.”
BBL: 4 favorites, 2 sensations, 1 six-fight
Before the season, FC Bayern’s basketball players were the towering favorites for the title. They confirmed this after 14 league wins in a row and first place. But then came the sensational home defeat against newly promoted Rasta Vechta (88:90 nV) on Sunday. And the signal to the league: The star ensemble around ex-NBA star Ibaka and the three world champions Obst, Giffey and Bonga is beatable!

Bayern captain Vladimir Lucic (34): “For the club and me, the championship title is the goal, it is every season. But we know that everything can change in the playoffs.” Who would know that better than him? Munich was eliminated in the 2023 semifinals with three defeats in a row against eventual champions Ulm.
Bayern boss Marko Pesic (47): “What happened against Ulm last season must not happen again.”

Who will pose a threat to Bayern? Lucic: “Alba, Ulm and Chemnitz are our toughest competitors for me.” Plus the self-confident surprise teams Würzburg (4th) and Vechta (5th), who are clearly on course for the playoffs eleven match days before the end of the main round.
Würzburg’s mullet star Zac Seljaas (26): “The championship is definitely a goal for us that we work for every day as a team. But we always have to take one step at a time and first concentrate on finishing the regular season strongly.”

And further: “If we don’t do that, we have no chance of playing for the championship. We can only start thinking about the playoffs once we have qualified for them and are ready for them as a team.”
