Slovenian champions conclude their appearances in this year's Champions League in France
ACH Volley Ljubljana For the current national and cup champions, the ACH Volley Ljubljana volleyball team, the elite Champions League in this season concludes with a midweek match against the French champions Tours VB. The orange dragons, competing in Group B, have suffered five defeats in as many matches so far. However, facing the French champions provides them with an opportunity to bid farewell to this year's Champions League with a victory.
Statement from coach Radovan Gačič: "As far as we are concerned, things in Group B have been clear for some time, so in this game, we will try to showcase the best performance and bid farewell to this year's Champions League with a victory. We will definitely face a strong Tours team, which has already proven several times this season how exceptional they are. The players are ready and motivated to leave France with good feelings."
Statement from ACH Volley Ljubljana player Nejc Najdič: "Despite five defeats in five matches and the fact that we have no chance of advancing, today in Tours, we want to deliver a good performance and record our first victory in this year's Champions League. We are aware that it won't be easy, but we must strive for it and continue the season in domestic competitions on the wings of a potential victory today."
