Luxembourg, March 9, 2021. The quarter-finals of the CEV
Champions League Volley 2021 Men provided some of the most intense volleyball
moments of the season as the top eight teams in Europe locked horns in their
quest to become part of the elite four.
The All-Italian matchup between
Leo Shoes Modena and Sir Sicoma Monini Perugia was one of the most engaging of
the quarter-final stage with both teams giving it their all across the two
matches. However, it was Perugia that managed to book their place in the
semi-finals and one of the most influential players to have contributed to this
achievement was Ukrainian star Oleh Plotnytskyi.
