Nimes Montpellier qualified for the men’s Champions League final four for the first time after beating Dekorglass Dzialdowo 3–1 away. The French side repeated the score of its home quarterfinal leg, advancing after a campaign that began in the competition’s opening stage as thirteenth seed.
Jakub Dyjas gave Dzialdowo the initial lead by defeating Gregoire Jean. Alexis Lebrun levelled against Patryk Lewandowski, then Antoine Hachard edged Samuel Kulczycki in five games, taking the short deciding game 6–4. Lebrun completed the victory against Dyjas.
Felix Lebrun remained on the bench after experiencing pain following the Europe Top 16 Cup. Nimes Montpellier’s reward was a semifinal against reigning champion Saarbrucken at the May final four in Germany.
