The heat is on, the tension is rising, and the final objective of the season is being played. On Sunday, April 19th, at 6:00 PM, Allianz Milano takes the field at the PalaPanini against Valsa Group Modena for Game 1 of the SuperLega Credem Banca playoff semifinal for fifth place. A spot in the final is at stake, and more importantly, a spot in the 2027 Challenge Cup. It’s a match steeped in history and rivalry: 35 previous meetings, with Modena ahead 24-11, but Milan arrives with ambition and a strong legacy. Because it was precisely in Modena, a year ago, that the journey that led the Lombardy team to lift the Challenge Cup began. A circle they now attempt to close.
