Behid them Paris, who won with the same result on the field of French titleholders Montpellier (23:25, 23:25, 13:25), with a stunning performance in blocking, scoring as many as 16 points from this element in just three sets (7 from Kellian Motta Paes, while Joachim Panou, the most prolific player of the game, was named MVP with 16 points to his name).
