Author of an exploit in their first Champions League match in Ankara (3-2), the Nazairiens this time could do nothing against Perugia, ruthless in realism. The Italian champions dominated in all areas of play to clearly win 3 sets to 0 (25-17, 25-20, 25-23 in 1 hour 20 minutes).

Much more efficient in attack (62% compared to 46 for the SNVBA), Simone Giannelli and his teammates also had a significant margin without their serving errors (15). They showed why they are serious candidates for the final victory in the Champions League. The Nazairiens will have created an illusion in a tight second set until 19-19 before collapsing in the third and final set. After two victories in a row in Ankara and Sète, Fulvio Bertini and his men experienced a setback, but this was expected given the adversity. Perugia, for its part, has not lost a set since the start of the European Cup.
