Last time these two teams have played together in the 2012-2013 edition of the Champions League and from that time both teams have changed.
“The four-time gold medallists from Europe’s elite club competition was the team which was at the bottom of my wish list,” commented Kanck’s head coach Emile Rousseaux the next day. “They play volleyball from another planet. They are the main candidate to claim a fifth gold medal in the Champions League. Thinking of moving on to the Playoffs 6 against them is completely unrealistic and even ridiculous. However, we will welcome them with a lot of respect. And we rather die against a giant than against a toddler.”
Match is scheduled for 20:30 by local time.
