Maksim-Mikhailov
For the second season in a row, Zenit Kazan opposite Maksim Mikhailov earned the CEV Champions League MVP award. Considering a big competition, which he had in his teammate Wilfredo León, Mikhailov can proudly say at the end of 2018 Final Four at Basket Hall in Kazan, that he became the best player of this season’s most elite European club tournament. Recall that Mikhailov was also named Most Valuable Player of the 2017 CEV European Championship. It all makes him the king of MVP titles.
But, the Cuban León was not skipped when it comes to individual awards for the 2018 Champions League…

Best Outside Spikers – Wilfredo León (Zenit) and Osmany Juantorena (Lube)
