Olympiacos – Maccabi: Red and white triumph, deservedly won the Challenge Cup in the packed SEF
Olympiacos got the two sets they needed against Maccabi Tel Aviv and won the Challenge Cup in a full SEF. Third European title for the red and white.
Olympiacos won the third European title in its history. The red-whites took the two sets they needed against Maccabi and added their name alongside the Challenge Cup trophy holder for the 2022-23 season.
Giuliani’s players had done half the work in Israel, where they won 3-0 sets, making their task easier in the packed SEF.
Olympiakos’ third European title
This is the Piraeus club’s third European title in men’s volleyball and fourth in volleyball overall, after tallying another in women’s volleyball.
Specifically, the red and white appeared in a final for the eighth time (twice in the Champions Cup, 1992 and 2002, four times in the Cup Winners’ Cup, 1996, 1997, 1998 and 2005 and twice in the Challenge Cup in 2018 and 2023) and they reached the end of the route for the third time.
The match: Olympiacos started nervously and Maccabi took a four-point lead (6-10). Pagenk’s serves quickly turned things around, however, as the Reds and Whites folded to take a 12-10 lead.
The rest belonged entirely to the red and white. With tactical serve and the block on the clock, the Reds and Whites ran 19-6 overall to finish the first set 25-16.
In the second set, both teams advanced point by point. Maccabi twice walked away with two points but Olympiacos didn’t let them get away and managed to escape mid-set.
With another serve and block as a weapon, the red-whites extended a difference of four points and reached the 2-0 set with 25:21, which also meant victory in the Challenge Cup.
The third set was now standard procedure but Olympiacos didn’t take their foot off the gas and went 3-0 to win the third set 25-16.
Olympiakos – Maccabi 3-0

A doctor from the Yenisei volleyball club provided emergency assistance to a child on board the plane
The doctor of the men’s volleyball club “Yenisei” from Krasnoyarsk, Shakhriyar Mirzoev, provided emergency assistance to the boy on board the plane.
The incident happened during the New Year holidays on the Kazan-Krasnoyarsk flight. The specialist noticed that the man and child were in the toilet for 20 minutes, and the flight attendant came in there periodically.
“I approached and saw that a boy of about nine was standing at the sink filled with water and blood. At that moment, the flight attendant began to ask if there was a doctor on board, to which I replied: “I’m a doctor, I’ll help now.”
I tried to stop the bleeding using cotton wool and improvised means that the conductors had, applying cold to the bridge of the nose. But this had no effect – everything was soaked in blood. The bleeding did not stop for about 20 minutes.
I tried to calm the child down and began to think about what to do next. I asked the flight attendants for a first aid kit and found ampoules of adrenaline there. Having opened two ampoules, I soaked two cotton pads with the solution and inserted them deep into the child’s nose. After a couple of minutes, I saw that the blood had stopped,” AiF Krasnoyarsk quotes Mirzoev as saying.
The child came to his senses. As it turned out, the boy had undergone surgery to remove his adenoids the day before, which probably caused the bleeding.
