What a shame really, Città di Castello was so close to win the first set against the Italian champs. They also fought hard in the second before the strength of Treia became evident in the third.

“The train passed but we just couldn’t get on it. And then it became more complicated – said coach Paolo Montagnani – We made poor mistakes when it mattered and that is certainly not positive, no matter if it happens against Treia or any other opponent. Then, it’s obvious that Treiat has the kind of weapons that did not allow us any chance to get back in it”.
