Spain’s women’s national team couldn’t have asked for a better start. Las Leonas del Vóley roared into the European Golden League with a commanding straight-set victory over hosts Montenegro (25-20, 25-16, 25-17), making a clear statement of intent.
From the very first whistle, it was evident this wasn’t just another match for Spain. Despite Montenegro’s youthful energy and home-crowd support, Spain’s calm and clinical performance silenced the arena. Captain María Segura led with confidence, notching 13 points, while Lucía Varela and Jimena Fernández added fuel to the fire—Fernández particularly impressed, stepping off the bench to contribute 11 crucial points.
