So far, in the history of the Champions League, we met Motor six times, out of which we managed to win five times, and lost only one game in February of 2014.

Zaporozhye was also in our group last season, however the Ukrainians finished last in the group with only one victory and two draws. Their games against us brought them no easy time either. In the very first round, they visited Veszprém Arena and left with a dominating 40:28 loss. In the last round, when Veszprém went to Zaporozhye, we won again easily, 22:32.

 

In the new Champions League season, they have played two games. In the first round, they hosted Barca and surprisingly only lost by 5 goals, 25:30, from the Spanish giant. In the second round, they travelled to Denmark, where Aalborg beat them 38:29, with Aidenas Malasinskas and Milos Orbovic scoring five times each. The overall top scorer of Motor is Aidenas Malasinskas with 12 goals.
