2024 CEV Champions League, Trentino Itas takes on Berlin again in the Quarter-Finals

Trentino Itas' run in the 2024 CEV Champions League will continue in the Playoffs with a confrontation that has now become a classic for the final draw of Europe's top club competition.
In fact, the German champions of the Berlin Recycling Volleys will be the Yellow-blue’s opponents in the double quarterfinal round, having qualified this evening from the round of 16 at the end of the doubleheader against the French team of Tours (already Trento's opponents in Pool B). For the third time in the last four editions, the two teams will therefore face each other in the final round; the first match will be played away, in the German capital, probably on Wednesday February 21st (date to be confirmed and time to be defined), while the second will be played at the daily T. Daily Arena on Thursday February 29th at 8.30 p.m. (date and time already official).
The two clubs already boast six direct confrontations in the Champions League, so much so that Berlin is among the foreign teams that Trentino Volleyball has faced the most times, after Kedzierzyn-Kozle, Moscow, Maaseik, Kazan and Tours. The duel has already been staged in the group stage of the 2014 edition and in the quarter-finals of the 2021 and 2022 editions (with the passage of the round always in Trento's favour). The balance favours the Italian team with four victories to two. The team that will have obtained the highest number of points in the classification drawn up on the basis of the two matches in which - as for the SuperLega championship - 3 points are awarded for a 3-0 and 3-1 victory, 2 for a 3-2 victory and 1 for a 2-3 defeat, will advance to the tournament semifinals. The golden set (play-off partial to be played until the 15th at the end of the second match) will be played only in the event of a tie. Whoever qualifies will face the winner of the quarter-final between Civitanova and Halkbank Ankara in the semifinals (double round between 13 and 20 March).

These are the quarter-final match-ups of the 2024 CEV Champions League final draw:
Berlin Recycling Volleys (Ger)-Trentino Itas (Ita)
Halkbank Ankara (Tur)-Cucine Lube Civitanova (Ita)
Gas Sales Daiko Piacenza (Ita)-Jastrzebski Wegiel (Pol)
Guaguas Las Palmas (Esp)-Ziraat Ankara (Tur)
