Cristina Neagu and her colleagues will fight for a place at the end of Budapest with the Danish from Esbjerg, in front of which they lost the last two doubles of the Champions League. The Nordics went on, in the 2021-2012 season, also in the quarterfinals, after defeating in Bucharest with 26-25 and drew at home, 27-27. The same scenario spent in the next season, when Esbjerg caught the semifinals after two victories: 32-28 and 33-31.

From 2018 has not finally reached Four

Since 2019, CSM Bucharest has not been able to pass the quarter phase, previously reaching the semifinals (2017 and 2018) and winning the competition (2016). The Danes qualified directly in the quarterfinals after finishing the second place in the second place, behind Gyor.

The first leg of the double between CSM and Esbjerg, from the Champions League at handball, will be played on April 19 or 20, in Bucharest, and the return will take place on April 26 or 27, in Denmark.
