FC Regal Barcelona vs. CSKA: 73-74 (+1)
Ettore Messina, CSKA head coach:
This was a game between two frustrated and disappointed teams as always happens in these third-place games. But both teams competed in the game and they wanted to win. And they made an effort. For some it was easier, for some it was more difficult because the degree of frustration changes from person to person. I think we deserved to win because most of the time we were up, even with a good lead. They came back late in the game. But we take a win that we consider important that finishes at least on a positive note a very good Euroleague season, which unfortunately was spoiled by a poor performance that we had in the semifinal against Olympiacos. Tomorrow we will start thinking about a way to come back to the next Final Four. In my first third-place game, what I keep after this game is that we had a reaction. We played with dignity – as we wanted. And we got a win.
