The Final for 3rd place in SuperLega Credem Banca could have its epilogue after just three races. On Saturday 6 May, at 18.00, Gas Sales Bluenergy Piacenza can manage a match ball within the friendly walls against Allianz Milano. Up 2-0 in the best-of-five series, the Emilians are just one win away from definitively grabbing the third step of the podium in the top flight. As a result, the pass for the CEV Champions League 2024 is increasingly clear in Robertlandy Simon’s sights. It would be another great result after the seasonal victory of the Del Monte® Coppa Italia and would show a leap in quality after sixth place at the end of the Regular Season. Milan doesn’t fit. Just as they made life difficult for Massimo Botti’s men in the third set of Game 2, Roberto Piazza’s Milanese intend to fight strenuously until the last ball, aware that they have the means to keep the series alive and that they can violate a another illustrious field after the successes centered on the taraflex of Civitanova and Perugia.

Yuri Romanò (Gas Sales Bluenergy Volley Piacenza): “We have a great opportunity and we must take advantage of it. Playing in front of our fans the possibility of detaching the pass for the next Champions League will give us even more strength. We are ahead but this does not mean anything or almost, we know that Milan can put any team in difficulty and therefore us too. He proved it in these Play Offs, he also demonstrated it in Race 2, we are ready for another great match, aware that it won’t be the last resort for us anyway”.
Roberto Piazza (Coach Allianz Milano): “There is a Champions League up for grabs, they are special matches in which we need to give something more, this extra thing that we have always given in the quarter-finals and in the semi-finals. Piacenza managed to give the same things it did in Game 3, in Game 4 and in Game 5 of the Quarter Finals and Semi Finals, we must be good now to go to Piacenza with the same spirit”.
