The derby between Aris and Iraklis became not only a spectacle for the local audience but also a symbolic moment in Boyan Yordanov's professional journey. The Bulgarian opposite hitter played one of his strongest matches in Greece, scoring an impressive 38 points, and after the final whistle in front of the camera ofvolleynews.grhinted that the 2024/25 season might turn out to be his "Last Dance".

Last season he played European matches for qualification in the 'round of eight' of the Challenge Cup. Today he is in the Pre League. But his attitude towards volleyball remains unchanged.

"This is the love for volleyball, that's why I keep playing, there's no other reason."

Love \u2013 and perhaps nostalgia for the end.

"Is this the "Last Dance"?"

When the conversation turned to the topic of the future, Yordanov spoke most quietly, but most powerfully:

"I don't want to say it now, but probably yes."

With these words, the Bulgarian hinted that the season could be his "Last Dance" \u2013 the last great dance on the court, the final applause, the last matches he will remember.

If this is indeed the case, the beginning of the final chapter could not have been written more impressively: 38 points, a leadership presence, and a victory in a derby that will remain in the fans' memories for a long time.
