After the bumpy start in the Bundesliga, the Berlin Recycling Volleys completed their first task in the Champions League with confidence.
The German series champion confidently defeated the Spanish title holder Guaguas Las Palmas at the start with 3-0 (25:20, 29:28, 20:14).
In addition to Las Palmas and the Czech champions VK Lvi Praha, defending champion Sir Sicoma Monini Perugia is also waiting for the Berliners in Pool C.
All group winners move straight into the quarter-finals, the runners-up and the best third place from five seasons move into the so-called playoff round.
The second German representative in the premier class, SVG Lüneburg, was also successful the day before. The Bundesliga leaders won 3-1 against Sporting Lisbon.
