Head Coach Pablo Laso’s comments on the game:

"Panathinaikos is a very experienced team with an experienced coach and players who are dominant in the EuroLeague right now; they are one of the favorites.

For us, it is a very difficult game, and also a challenge after Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv, where we faced a team that played very solidly and shot very good percentages. We have to improve our defense. We want to be competitive against these kinds of teams because they have a lot of quality, and we need to impose our physicality a little. We need to be solid on defense, and then we will be able to run our offense at our own pace.

This is something that anyone who wants to go head-to-head with Panathinaikos has to understand that if you are not able to contest them, it will be very difficult, because they are a very talented team."

Our player Santi Yusta's tought about game:

"It's going to be a tough game. They are a really good team with really great players, so we need to be 100% locked in, sticking to our game plan and executing the way we have before.

We've already shown we can do it: we've played well, we've won some games, and I think this is the way to get the win again."
