The vertices of two acute-angled triangles lie on the same circle. The Euler circle (nine-point circle) of one of the triangles passes through the midpoints of two sides of the other triangle. Prove that the triangles have the same Euler circle.

HIDE: EDIT by pohoatza (in concordance with Luis' PS): Alternate/initial version Let $ABC$ be a triangle with circumcenter $\Gamma$ and nine-point center $\gamma$. Let $X$ be a point on $\Gamma$ and let $Y$, $Z$ be on $\Gamma$ so that the midpoints of segments $XY$ and $XZ$ are on $\gamma$. Prove that the midpoint of $YZ$ is on $\gamma$.
