Champions League: Jastrzębski undefeated, Halkbank inflict Berlin first home defeat in season! Friedrichshafen and Roeselare ok

There are no equal contenders for the Polish runners-up Jastrzębski Węgiel in the 2023 CEV Volleyball Champions League so far!

Fourth match and fourth victory, although they didn’t have an easy time in the clash with France’s Montpellier HSC VB but, eventually closed the encounter in three sets (25:23, 27:25, 25:20).
The French side, as well as national’s defending champions, remained last-placed in Pool A, with just one point on their account after losing the opening tie-break against Germany’s VfB Friedrichshafen, victorious today om the same Pool against Serbia’s Vojvodina NS Seme Novi Sad: 3-1 and partially 20:25, 25:17, 25:16, 25:23).
The Frenchman Trévor Clévenot top-scored Jastrzębski, but wasn’t the most efficient player in the match given that Montpellier’s Théo Faure scored 15.

With their first home defeat of the entire season, Berlin Recycling Volleys gave up a good starting position to remain in the Champions League after the groups.
On the fourth game of Pool B, the German champions lost 0-3 to Halkbank Ankara, partially 16:25, 33:35, and 22:25, in front of almost 5,500 spectators at their Max-Schmeling-Halle.
The Dutchman Nimir Abdel-Aziz helped the Turkish vice-champions reach a 3-1 record, scoring an impressive amount of 28 points, while Czech Marek Šotola scored 22 for Berlin.

Close the picture Belgium’s Knack Roeselare (BEL) easy home win over Portugal’s Sport Lisboa e Benfica 3-0 (25:18, 25:22, 25:16) in Pool C, with a great net domination: 12 winning blocks for the hosts, against only 1 of the rivals!
