Another favorite won Podgorica without any major problems, Budućnosti's handball players suffered their third defeat in "Morača", and their sixth overall in the EHF Champions League.

In the seventh round of Group B, Bojana Popović's team lost to Esbjerg 27:23 in a match in which it was already clear after fifteen minutes that a surprise was not realistic.

Halfway through the first half, the Danes took an eight-goal advantage (10:2), later it was plus nine, but the reaction of the Podgorica women was seen in the sequel. They were, in truth, far from returning to the match, but one got the impression that Budućnost wanted to avoid a convincing defeat at all costs. In the end, she succeeded...
