- 11 pm 09. Asterix makes Conegliano shiver for a set on debut. You now know that the difference in level was clear in advance.

The signal for coach Daniele Santarelli to throw his entire starting team into battle. After winning the first set 27-25 based on character, Conegliano also pushed through. With two 25-16 scores, the class difference became clear in sets 2 and 3. Yet Asterix Avo may cherish fond memories of his Champions League debut. .
