There is no reason to be dissatisfied - that is the message of Budućnosta handball players after the premiere in the Champions League.

"Blues" lost to Rapid in Bucharest 32:27 in a match in which they played very well in the first 30 minutes.

"We have to be satisfied even though we are defeated. This is a very difficult season for us, because we have a large number of young players, but today they fought during the entire match. In the first half, the game was at a satisfactory level, in the continuation there were several situations with the pivot player Kasoma, which we did not solve the way we wanted. That ultimately decided the winner. The girls fought and they should be recognized for that," said Maja Savić, Bojana Popović's first assistant.

Jelena Radivojević scored six goals.

"We knew it would be difficult in Bucharest. Rapid has great fans and I always look forward to playing on this field. I think every team enjoys playing here, it's a big advantage for the host, but also pressure for the opponent. This match was also difficult, as will be every match in the very strong group we are in, but we are going step by step, with the desire to get the most out of this team," said Radivojević.
