Overview
Chemik finished second in Pool E, with four wins and 13 points, and advanced to the quarterfinals as the runner-up with the best record. They have been Champions League regulars since 2015, with the 2020 season as their only omission, but the only time they played in the semifinals was when they hosted the Final Four in their rookie season. Domestically, Chemik stand third in the Polish league on a 14-5 record.
VakifBank come in as undefeated winners of Pool C and will play in the Champions League quarterfinals for 12th consecutive time. They are on a 13-match winning streak in the competition hoping to make their way to their fifth continental title, after the triumphs in 2011, 2013, 2017 and 2018. In 2019 and 2020, VakifBank were among the semifinalists. They have already secured the first place of the regular season in Turkey, leading the table on 28 wins in 29 games.
Giovanni GuidettiWe are very excited to play the quarterfinals of the Champions League. We’ve been working for that, for this kind of a moment, for a very long time. We are looking forward to a great match, because Police has a great team, with the best national team players of Poland. Historically, they are the most powerful team in Poland, used to winning a lot in the last decades. It will be a difficult match for sure.
Head coach of VakifBank Istanbul
Melis GurkaynakThe aim of all of us is to go past the quarterfinals and reach the semifinals. We want to take the advantage in the first game, away in Police, and then, at home, progress to the next stage. As VakifBank, we always want to be in the final. This match is our next important step towards that goal.
