The Macerata team is heading to the Slovenian capital, Ljubljana, where it will meet Bled in the Champions League playoff 12 first leg. This is the beginning of the knock out stages and therefore the first big obstacle to overcome on route to the Final Four of Lodz, Poland.

“Setter Petkovic, my teammate in the National team told me about how great were the Slovenian fans in Champions League games – explained Serbian middleblocker Podrascanin, who will receive the “best blocker” award of the first phase in the return game – The atmosphere will be even more electric than usual because they play against an Italian team”.
