The besties were pitted against each other.
And there were no shouts of joy from Larsson when he beat Lundqvist in the night duel.
– It was special, says the hockey pro to Aftonbladet.
– You had it for the hell of it, says one noticeably disappointed Sebastian Larsson when he grabs hold of the candlestick resulting in the Joel Lundqvist forced to leave the “Master of Masters”.
During the course of the program, a friendship has developed between the two sports professionals, so when they were pitted against each other in tonight’s night duel, the emotions were palpable.
– It was special to stand in those duels and then a little extra against him because we were room cleaners down there and got that community. It was special, says Lundqvist to Aftonbladet.

“Someone has to go”
In what became the decisive duel, it is Joel who first gets hold of the candlestick, but loses his grip and it is Sebastian who stands as the victor.
– Of course you were disappointed, it is a competition, says Lundqvist and continues:
– I’m not completely satisfied with the ending, that’s true, but someone has to go and someone has to move on.

Today’s contact: “Have heard”
But overall, the hockey pro is happy that he got to be a part of the adventure and the friendships that were formed there.
– You got on a good relationship with everyone, but Sebastian and I were room cleaners, so we hung out a little extra. Just because we had somewhat similar backgrounds with team sports and thoughts about the roles you had as players, you recognized each other. It was fun getting to know him.

– We didn’t know each other before, but we had a mutual acquaintance who said we would like to hang out, and who knew that we were quite similar as people.
How is your contact today?
– We have been heard a little now and then in various contexts, then we have seen the whole gang at some point and then we have been heard on the phone a few times.
”the master of masters” is broadcast on Sundays on SVT and SVT Play.
