Buducnosti handball players finished the Champions League in the quarterfinals - the Norwegian Vipers were twice better than the team from Podgorica.

After 24:19 in Podgorica, Vipers celebrated in front of the home fans 25:18.

"Regardless of the final result, the desire between the two games was for the girls to show more energy, to be more free, and I would say that they entered the match with a greater desire to do their best, with less pressure after the defeat in the first match. We wanted and for the game in attack and transition to be more concrete. In those segments, especially in the first half, with a missed penalty and two zicers, we could have been equal. Regardless of the fact that the positional attack, in the first 15 minutes, was in a lot of spasms, with a few realized chances would have gone a long way in the game," said Dragan Adžić.

The absence of Milena Raičević, but also the break of Đurđina Jauković, was felt in the Buducnosti game.

"In the sequel, there were also good things and some that were the consequences of something, like with Đina Jauković, a longer break and the inability to fully return to the right form, which she had before the injury. It was also seen with Marina Rajčić after the break because of the injury, returning to work, that she had two weeks of rest and that she was at a high level in the second match. The other girls showed more energy, but not enough for such a compact and high-quality team," said Adžić.
