Coach Bennet Wiegert has been involved in all three of Magdeburg's titles — as a player in 2001-02, and as head coach in 2022-23 and now 2024-25.
Magdeburg also have two other titles from when the competition was called the European Cup. Berlin, meanwhile, have never won the trophy.
In the match for third place, HBC Nantes defeated Barça 30-25.
