On Wednesday, Haak's Swedish national team will face Slovenia in the European League final. The return leg will be played away on Saturday.
In the club side Imoco Volley - which usually wins the most in a year - it was a tough season with “only” a league title and Champions League bronze.
"For my part, it has still felt good. Of course, you always want to achieve more results, but there are more seasons to come," says Haak about the season.
She enjoys life in Conegliano, Italy, north of Venice.
It's very nice. It feels like home there, you've created a daily routine. And I mean, wonderful culture, good food, good climate, there's not much to complain about, says Haak.
Selfies and autographs
In Italy, more people are out on the streets than at home in Sweden.
In Italy and Turkey where I've played a lot, people come up to me and ask to take a picture. It's a different culture, in Sweden there's not that much of that.
In her new home country, Haak met her Italian boyfriend Jacopo Preti, 32, who plays basketball in the Italian second division. Having a partner who is also an athlete is only a positive thing, according to Haak.
“Not easy for him”
The couple is mostly in Italy, but Preti has also been allowed to come to Sweden.
I've tried to explain to him how we eat pizza here, it's not easy for him to take in.
The biggest culture clash was when Haak offered pizza with pineapple.
I had him try it last year and it wasn't a hit. Now he's at least tried it, that's "kudos".
At home in Ängelholm, where Haak grew up, she has been honoured with a mural.
It feels crazy, it's always special now that you've driven past it a few times. It feels strange but fun of course, a nice gesture by the municipality.
Internationally, Haak is a superstar, winning titles and awards like few others. But back home in Sweden, she rarely gets noticed.
I know what journey we have made and I don't need others to give me a receipt for it.
In August, Sweden will play in the European Championship and will be at home in the group stage. The group includes Italy, among others.
It's going to be very special. They know me pretty well, which is never an advantage. But they haven't met us, we'll just have to deal with looking after me.
