The 2025 CEV Women’s Champions League wrapped up with Imoco Conegliano taking a dominant 3–0 win over Savino del Bene Scandicci in the final in Istanbul. But while the Italian club celebrated their well-earned title, the post-tournament award picks sparked a wave of online debate.

No surprises here — Isabelle Haak was crowned MVP for the second year in a row. The Swedish star led Conegliano with 21 points in the final and looked unstoppable throughout the tournament. Her back-to-back MVP awards are a testament to just how crucial she’s been to Imoco’s success.

Meet the 2025 Dream Team

The tournament’s best players were named in the official Dream Team, and here’s who made the cut:

  • MVP: Isabelle Haak (Imoco Conegliano)
  • Best Opposite: Paola Egonu (Milano)
  • Best Setter: Alessia Orro (Milano)
  • Best Outside Hitters: Gabi & Ting Zhu (Imoco Conegliano)
  • Best Middle Blockers: Marina Lubian (Imoco), Hena Kurtagić (Milano)
  • Best Libero: Monica De Gennaro (Imoco)

While many agreed with the individual picks, some fans were surprised by a few names left off the list — and the biggest twist came from the coaching category.

Best Coach Choice Raises Eyebrows

Giovanni Guidetti, coach of VakifBank Istanbul, was named Best Coach, despite his team falling short in the Final Four. Fans questioned why Imoco’s head coach — who led his squad to an unbeaten campaign and a second straight Champions League title — wasn’t recognized. Without clear criteria for the selection, many were left puzzled.

Final Thoughts

This year’s Champions League delivered top-tier volleyball, standout individual performances, and a little bit of post-match drama. Whether you agree with the Dream Team picks or not, one thing’s clear — the level of competition in women’s volleyball has never been higher.
