These are the opponents of Panathinaikos and PAOK in the quarterfinals of the Challenge Cup

Panathinaikos and PAOK almost came out on top on Tuesday, but in the end they made it to the quarterfinals of the Challenge Cup thanks to the golden set.

A day later they got to know their opponents in the next phase, having also qualified after the second games of the round of 16.

In the second quarter-final there will be the “double-header” against Wiesbaden. The Germans won 3-2 in Istanbul, but lost at home with the same result and ultimately qualified for the Golden Set.

The “Greens” end up in the third quarter-finals, where they face Neptune Nantes. The French were able to prevail against Voluntari with two wins (3:0 in Romania, 3:1 in France).

It should be noted that if the two Greek teams qualify, they will be in different semi-finals and will therefore only be able to meet in the final.
