Olimpia Milan, magical night against Real. Messina: "It's bizarre…"

Great victory in the Euroleague for Olimpia Milano, which folded Real Madrid 85-76 at home, centering its second consecutive success in the European competition. Messina’s team exploited a great start and then managed with order the top scorers of the night were Dimitrijevic with 22 points and LeDay with 17.

"A beautiful victory, the team played very well both defensively and offensively, celebrating in the best possible way the Chacho Rodriguez, whose importance we all know in the history of this club", are the words of Ettore Messina after the game.

Also good was the newcomer Nico Mannion: "He played very well on both sides of the court".

Only Sunday Milan had been swept in Trent, now this transformation: "Quite bizarre that Sunday we were one thing and today a completely different thing. It happens to everyone to have low energy games, good on the guys for believing in it after the game of’the other day. The fact that we helped ourselves on defense and took away Real Madrid’s easy baskets I think was important. We grabbed rebounds, cutting back carefully, then on offense we moved the ball well, not taking the first shot. The offense affects the defense and vice versa. Today we had a complete game on both sides of the court".
