With the matches played yesterday, Wednesday 17 January, the group stage of the CEV Champions League 2024 ends. All three SuperLega Credem Banca teams concluded their group in first place. Civitanova improves its ranking among the top teams thanks to the 3-0 home victory, but is already preparing for a quarter-final with a high difficulty coefficient against the winner, in the Play Off round, between Zaksa and Halkbank Ankara. Trento, however, lost its unbeaten record in the last match of the group, placing itself in the scoreboard as the third best “first place”, where it will be joined by the winner between Tours and Berlin. An away victory for Piacenza, in Berlin, which guarantees them first place in the pool, but as fifth among the “top ranked”, forcing Anastasi’s men into a clash against another top team, namely Jastrzebski Wegiel.

MINT Vero Volley Monza also wins the return match of the Quarter Finals of the CEV Challenge Cup, rightfully entering among the best four of the competition. The first men’s team of the Vero Volley Consortium fought ball after ball until the last point, again overcoming Levski Sofia 3-0 (25-21, 25-12, 25-21), this time within the friendly walls of Opiquad Arena. A masterful show of strength by the Monza team, who confirm the excellent match played on Bulgarian soil, once again offering a great team performance and emphasizing the ability of a very solid group. Coach Eccheli’s boys will face the fearsome Turkish team Galatasaray HDI Istanbul in the Semifinal, in which the former Jan Zimmermann plays, emerging victorious from the match against the Portuguese team Fonte Bastardo Azores. The first leg will be played in Brianza on January 31st (time and date to be confirmed), and the return match the following week at the Burhan Felek Voleybol Salonu in Istanbul.
