Overview
- The German champions fell 1–3 to Guaguas Las Palmas with set scores of 25:22, 28:30, 21:25, 24:26 on the penultimate group matchday.
- Missing a second set denied the single point that would have secured knockout qualification, with two set points slipping away in the 28:30 second set.
- Las Palmas kept their playoff chance alive by getting the clear win they needed to stay in contention.
- Berlin’s final group match comes against titleholders Sir Sicoma Monini Perugia on Wednesday, while Las Palmas visit last-place Prague.
- If Las Palmas win 3:0 or 3:1 and Berlin take no points, the Volleys would need a best-third berth that could be lost if Montpellier win at Haasrode Leuven.
