Farewell to the Champions League is the best indicator of the whole season The future of Bemax - the two-time European champion was shipwrecked on the road to Bittighheim and with 34:16 again equaled the heaviest defeat in the history of the club.
The elite competition will finish in 14th place with a better performance than only Savehof and Zagvembje from Lubin, who are at zero.
Everything in the "MHP Arena" in Ludwigsburg was decided even before the match started, because Bojana Popović's team does not have the quality for the strongest club competition in the world.
The team that this season first equaled the heaviest defeat in the club's history (39:24 in Odense), and then surpassed it four times (37:19 against Djerba, 44:26 against ĆSM Bucharest, 33:17 against Odense in "Bemax Arena" and today's 34:16), and received the most goals ever from the Romanian champion, holding on only to 3:2 in the 4th minute.
The Germans then went on a 7:0 run to 10:2 and announced a new disaster for the "blues", who were down 1 (12:18) at the end of the first half.
The difference was the same at halftime (19:7), and Gabrijela Dijaš-Moreski "killed" the little self-confidence of Ivona Pavićević and her friends with her great defenses.
That's why the difference grew to 29:13 with eight minutes to go, so it was just a question of whether Budućnost would go below minus 18, the level they ended up in Djerba and Bucharest.
The home team went to plus 17 (31:14), Vanesa Agović reduced the score to 31:16 with two goals, but Bittigheim finished the match with three goals and gave a new slap to the team that has been the pride of Podgorica and Montenegro for years.
Bubućnosti will now have a long break, because in May they will play matches for the title of national champion and the Cup final on May 21. It is clear that this season has been thrown into the wind, that practically all acquisitions during the summer were wrong, which is why a complete reconstruction of the team follows.
Jelena Despotović is back, but she will make her debut only against Rudar in the title matches, Đurđina Jauković and Nina Bulatović will be there since the summer, the Russian Valerija Kirdyasheva is also arriving, and several more reinforcements are planned.
The biggest Montenegrin club, however, is no longer a magnet for top players as it used to be, because it is far from the top and can play a maximum of 20 games in a season.
And who will join the team that finished the season with a goal difference of minus 122, i.e. 8,7 per game?
