This is also the first European club trophy for Hungarian team since 2008/2009 when Szeged won the Euro Cup, then called LEN Trophy.

The 2nd leg battle between was only a matter a form because Ferencváros gave an outstanding performance in the 1st leg, on March 22, when they recorded a convincing victory over the Romanian rival, 12-6. Oradea water polo players did make history by advancing to the final, but they were not able to comeback against the opponent who excelled in their third Euro Cup final.

Oradea did not manage to become the first Romanian club to win a European trophy. In addition, their goalkeeper Gojko Pijetlovic failed to grasp another LEN Euro Cup, after he had won it in 2010 with Cattaro squad from Montenegro.

The top scorer of the 2nd leg was Norbert Madaras who netted four goals for Ferencváros. There was only one more player who scored for the winning team – Marko Avramovic, who found the net three times. Among five players who scored for Oradea is Tiberiu Negrean who recorded three goals.

Even if Oradea water polo players were hoping they could make a historic comeback in Budapest, the first quarter proved them wrong. Ferencváros left them scoreless in the first quarter to increase their lead to nine in aggregate. The hosting team later took their foot off the gas, but the deficit was insurmountable for Romanian water polo squad. The match ended in a draw, which was enough for the celebration of Ferencváros water polo players and the fans as well.
