Borussia Düsseldorf joined top guns in the penultimate stage of Champions League

Even before the final of the Champions Legue men we can say that we are heading Germany vs. Russia clash. Two dominate forces in European club competition booked their places in the semifinal. Borussia Düsseldorf will meet 1. FC Saarbrücken TT whilst Russia’s TTSC UMMC will meet Fakel Gazprom Orenburg.

This afternoon Borussia Düsseldorf beat K.S. Dekorglass Dzialdowo in the second leg of the quarterfinal but unlike the opening match which finished 3:0 this time winners were stretched to full distance.

Anton KALLBERG was the key player with two wins over XU Wenliang (11:2 11:8 11:8) and his compatriot Truls MOREGARD (8:11 11:6 11:7 11:4). On the other side Truls took one point by beating QIU Dang (9:11 12:10 13:11 11:8).

“It was very close match and very difficult for us. We had a lot of problems caused by Corona and today we won very hard battle. This was one of my hardest matches since I become coach in Dusseldorf ” said coach Danny HEISTER.” I was focused on this match and I did not think about the one we are going to play against 1. FC Saarbrücken in the semis. However Borussia has always one goal and that is – to win.”
