With four Olympic Champions and three World Champions in the roster, Montpellier was not capable to beat on the home soil the Hungarians from Veszprém, losing 30:24. Their chances to reach the 1/4 finals are practically zero. Veszprém´s Dejan Peric, one of Niko´s favourite goalkeepers, performed great.
