2019/20 Table Tennis Champions League Men quarter-finals leg 2

Champions from 2018 Borussia Dusseldorf justified their status and secured the place in the semifinal of the Table Tennis Champions League Men. After straight matches victory in Denmark in the opening leg they needed full five matches to beat Roskilde Bordtennis BTK61 at home.
