After all what happened in the first leg of the 2016/17 ECLW final Berlin`s coach Irina PALINA should be satisfied with the 3:2 defeat in the Polish city of Tarnobrzeg.

Of course it’s not easy but we are optimistic and we will try to make our best on Friday” stated Berlin`s coach Irina PALINA.

German champion won third ECLW crown last year with 10-0 score but the best Polish team broke their winning streak which started two years ago.
