A new negative record and another tied - Buducnost Bemax handball players played probably the worst match in the history of this great club in the Champions League.

Bojana Popović's girls were defeated by ĆSM Bucharest in Romania with 44:26 - they conceded the most goals ever, and the defeat of minus 18 (which they have already experienced this season against Djer) is the most convincing in history.

"The defense was terrible, we conceded a lot of goals - we have to work on that, because we allowed a lot of easy goals," Bojana Popović said after the match.

Led by the great Kristina Neagu, ĆSM is one of the strongest teams in Europe, but even that cannot be an excuse.

"We knew it would be very difficult, because ĆSM Bucharest has a great squad, but the energy and combativeness of my team was bad. I'm disappointed because the players could have shown much more. We have to work hard to correct these mistakes and be better in the next matches", added the head of the professional staff of the "Blues".

It was the first match of Budućnost after 50 days and a break due to the World Cup.

"ĆSM played an excellent match, but we weren't ready, because we were separated for a long time because of the World Cup and we only did a few training sessions together. It was visible on the field, because there was no team play," concluded Bojana.

Kalidijatu Nijakate was the only one in a good mood in the Montenegrin team with six goals.

"We didn't fight as well as we could - we knew this was a very difficult away game, but today we didn't show combativeness, especially in defense. We had to play much better and help the goalkeepers. I believe we will play much better next weekend against Debrecen ", Nijakate said.
