The men’s Champions League quarter-final draw placed defending champions FTC Telekom and Pro Recco in Group B with Mladost and Hannover. Group A comprises Olympiacos, Barceloneta, Novi Beograd and Brescia, bringing eight qualified clubs into two round-robin sections.

The format retains two Final Four places from each group. The deciding tournament is scheduled in Malta from 11 to 13 June, with the first quarter-final stage round on 3 and 4 March following February’s completed group competition.

FTC and Recco had shared the previous six Champions League titles equally and met in the October Super Cup final. The new draw gives them two further meetings, while every Group A side had reached the competition’s semi-finals at least once in the preceding five editions.
