Favored Sir Sicoma Monini Perugia unexpectedly lost against Leo Shoes Modena in straight sets in the first leg of the 2021 Men’s Champions League playoff quarterfinals. Partially, it was 25-21, 25-18, and 25-22 for multiple winners of the competition.
Modena, who finished 7th in the SuperLega regular season, unlike Perugia who won it, and had only 3 days to prepare for the match (Perugia had a 10-day break) dominated the match from start to finish. So, in the rematch at their PalaBarton, on March 2, the ‘Block Devils’ will need a great reaction to avoid the shocking elimination from the Champions League.
Luca Vettori top-scored Modena with 15 points, while American Micah Christenson made 4 blocks. Cuban-Polish Wilfredo León tallied 13 points for Perugia. Argentine Sebastián Solé set up 5 blocks.
