Serbian volleyball players are second in Europe!
Tonight, in Brussels, at the European Championship, they played against the team from Turkey, in front of 8400 spectators. They had a motivated Turkey and the majority of fans against them. It was like playing in Istanbul.

The spectacular Brussels final gave birth to a true thriller that only top volleyball can afford, and the Serbian and Turkish players prepared just that with a fantastic, dramatic clash.
Turkey was slightly better, but it didn't have what Serbia had, fanatical combativeness and absolute determination.
The two teams met for the fifth consecutive time in the finals of the European Championship. All four previous duels belonged to the Serbian national team.
This was the sixth final of the "Blue Ladies", as the Serbian volleyball players were called at the European championships, and the fourth in a row.
