The CEV Champions League Men quarter-finals are heating up, with the second leg set to decide the Final Four teams heading to Łódź, Poland (May 16-18).
The final battles begin today, with Aluron CMC Warta Zawiercie hosting SVG Lüneburg on home turf. They continue tomorrow with two more matchups and wrap up on March 20 in Perugia, where Sir Sicoma Monini Perugia will face Mint Vero Volley Monza.
Olympiacos Stuns Jastrzębski Węgiel
In their opening match, Greek club Olympiacos Piraeus staged a stunning comeback against Polish powerhouse Jastrzębski Węgiel, rallying from two sets down to secure a 3-2 victory. But they still have a tough challenge ahead—Jastrzębski has lost just once at home in the last 14 matches.
Halkbank Too Strong for Warszawa
Turkish powerhouse Halkbank Ankara dominated PGE Projekt Warszawa 3:1 in the opening match, fueled by a stellar performance from Yoandy Leal Hidalgo, who scored 23 points. Warszawa must win 3:0 or 3:1 to force a golden set, but Halkbank has a strong record in those situations.
Zawiercie Cruises Past Lüneburg
Polish club Aluron CMC Warta Zawiercie easily handled SVG Lüneburg 3:0, putting them on the brink of a historic semi-final appearance. They remain unbeaten at home in this year’s competition. Today, the two teams face off again in Poland.
Perugia Takes Charge Against Monza
Sir Sicoma Monini Perugia fought back to beat Mint Vero Volley Monza 3:1, extending their winning streak to eight matches. With a 9-1 record against Monza, they’re in a strong position to advance. The quarterfinal round will conclude with their second game on March 20.
