Bojan Janic's team played an excellent set and a half - they were more dominant in all segments of the game, they were confident in the attack, and they tortured their rivals with their serve.

However, later on, Radnik got rid of the pressure and played much better, so they offered significantly more resistance. The visitors from Bijeljina also had two set points in the third set, but they did not use them. Partizan celebrated the victory.

What happened in the first set is not realistic, we were very good, and they were under pressure. I believe that we would have won even if we had lost the third set, because I think we are better. I really liked the beginning, guys know what I didn't like - we'll talk about that. Olympiakos is waiting for us, so we have to forget this, refresh ourselves and we will do our best to beat them.

Head Coach Partizan Belgrade

I congratulate the Partizan team on their well-deserved victory. This was our first appearance in the Champions League qualifiers and that's why we didn't play as relaxed from the start. My players were enchanted by this environment and the match in the Champions League. When the players relaxed, you could see that we had quality.
