In the Champions League Poo D, Sir Sicoma Monini Perugia will host Hakbank Ankara in the last match of the group stage today in Italy. Carlos Alberto Roble Garcia (Spain) and Wojciech Maroszek (Poland) will referee the match, which will be hosted by Pala Barton PERUGIA Volleyball Hall. 

Before the match, Perugia managed to win all 5 matches it played in the group 3-0 and is in the lead. Halkbank, on the other hand, has collected 9 points with three wins from the 5 matches it has played, and is in second place. The team from the Turkish capital wants to maintain its second-place position and potentially be in a more favourable matchup in the playoff round. Ankara does not have any injured or suspended players except for national midfielder Yunus Emre Tayaz.

Two young players at Halkbank ANKARA, Yigit Hamza Aslan and Tuna Uzunkol, said that they came to Italy with faith and wanted to achieve the difficult task. Young, national slam dunk Yiğit Hamza briefly said, "Painful memories strengthen a person the most. The match we lost in Ankara is also our painful memory,”he commented. Another young player Tuna Uzunkol also said that they came to Italy assertively and believed that they would return with the best score that could be obtained from here. Two young players, Vicenzo Montella, the Coach of the National Football Team, whom they met on the plane, and Yusuf Dikeçle, the shooter who became an iconic athlete of the Olympics by winning the Olympic Second Place, also had a souvenir photo taken.
