Soviet Union won their 12th title of European Champion. Two months ago USSR lost with Cuban team in the semi-final of World League 1991 Final Four played in Milan. Italy won that tournament (they won 8 of 11 editions in years 1990-2000, Russia didn't win even once). In the last 38th match of EuroVolley 1991 played in Berlin Soviet Union coached by magician: Vyacheslav Platonov was the best. Look at legends of Russian volleyball: Dmitry Fomin and Ruslan Olikhver. In that match Bernardi, Lucchetta, Cantagalli, Zorzi had to recognize the superiority of Russia.

@pearl - You're welcome :) Considering Italy's reign in volleyball in the 90's,it's a damn shame there aren't more matches of this team available and most of the fans(myself included) recognize the wonderful players of this generation mainly as coaches,commentators,TV personalities and etc. than as the superstars that they were...I found this one on a Russian tracker - no surprise,since they were the winners :D
