Luxembourg, February 18, 2021. Sir Sicoma Monini Perugia went into the second tournament of the 4th Round of CEV Champions League Volley Pool D occupying the second position, behind fellow Italians from Cucine Lube Civitanova after losing the direct battle earlier in the season.

Going into the match this time around, Lube was already qualified for the quarterfinals of the competition after a win against Tours VB so the pressure was on for Perugia to turn the tables and attempt to move into first spot. And so they did, with the help of an incredible performance from one of their star players, Wilfredo Leon.
