Veszprém secured the triumph primarily through a collective offensive performance and a solid defense. Goalkeeper Emil Nielsen, who previously played for Barcelona, made 12 successful saves and contributed significantly to the Hungarian team's victory. His saves formed the foundation for the organized play of the team led by coach Xavi Pascual. El Pais ↗
Veszprém's top scorer was Hugo Descat, who netted ten goals. Nedim Remili added eight accurate strikes, and Slovak national team player Ivan Martinovič scored five times. On Barcelona's side, Timothey N'Guessan also scored, but the defending champion was unable to keep pace with its opponent. teraz.sk ↗
Barcelona qualified for the tournament as the winner of the Champions League, while Veszprém received a wild card. The Hungarian club thus built on its previous successes, earning a reward for advancing from the competitive stage of the tournament. Last year, the two teams met in the final, which Barcelona won after double overtime. This time, however, Veszprém handled the decisive match decisively and ended the Catalan team's unbeaten run.
