Two of the highest ranked Champions
League qualifiers will clash in the Euro Cup quarter-finals: Serbia’s Radnicki,
2nd in the qualification round in November, and Szolnok, 3rd in the other
group, have been drawn against each other.
The draw for the Euro Cup quarters
has been conducted this morning in the LEN Office in Nyon. The highlighted
clash of the best eight is definitely the duel of Radnicki and Szolnok. The
Serbs, Champions League runners-up in 2014, and the Hungarians, Champions League
winners in 2017, should offer two great matches in the second half of March
(add that Szolnok’s scoring engine is fuelled by Serbian stars Filip Filipovic
and Dusko Pijetlovic).
The other Hungarian side OSC, third
in the Champions League qualifications, is to meet Sabadell – the Spaniards
enjoyed an outstanding away-match in Mataro after a home draw with the fellow
Spanish club.
Russia’s strongest team Dynamo is
paired against Serbia’s Crvena Zvezda, another exciting match-up. And last but
not least Mladost, runner-up in the Champions League qualification in November
in Sicily, will have two thrilling encounters against Vouliagmeni – the Greeks
managed to edge out Serbia’s up and coming club Novi Beograd in the eight-finals,
now they face another big challenge.
