For Hungarian champions that will be second appearance on F4 in Cologne and a second chance to reach final. In Last 8 phase they have managed to knock French PSG out of the competition after 24:24 draw in Paris and clear 34:28 win in Veszprem Arena despite of the fact they were not able to find cure for Mikkel Hansen who was unstoppable with 15 goals. With 15 goals but in two matches Momir Ilić was Veszprem's best scorer and is now second in 'best scorer' list  with 102 goals right after Hansen who has 103 but will not play in Cologne.
