Olimpia greets Euroleague with a win, Messina looks to championship with confidence

Messina’s words after the win with Barcelona

Ettore Messina commented on his team’s victory as they bid farewell to the Euroleague with a win against Barcelona, defeated 84-76 at the Mediolanum Forum.

“It was an important night for our fans,” the coach of the meneghini began, “We feel indebted to them even though we know why we could not have a better season. I think it was a very good game from everyone, everyone helped out, everyone competitive, we had good minutes on defense as well as offense. I think it can help us find confidence before the Italian playoffs. As I said before the game to face a very good team like Barcelona you have to have a great performance and hope they play a little below their standard. That happened, so the line is very thin. The good thing is that we left this competition at home with a good taste in our mouth.”
