Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade head coach Zeljko Obradovic:
"Like any game in the EuroLeague, for us it was an important game. It happened that before the game, we had some kind of problems: Papapetrou was not even able to travel with us and yesterday night we made practice just with eight players, because Zach LeDay, Alen Smailagic and Uros Trifunovic felt very bad and stayed in the hotel. So I want to thank all of these guys for being able to help the team. They found the energy and power to play a game today. Obviously, I want to congratulate my team because I believe we played a very good game, especially at the end of the second quarter and the third quarter, in which it was the difference. But on the other side, it is correct to say that Bayern played without four very important players for them. if I talked that we missed, let's say, one important player, I imagine how it is for Andrea Trinchieri to play without, for him probably, key players. So I am very happy to take the win tonight and of course, I need to mention the incredible support that we had from our people. Thanks to them, they follow us everywhere. Over here, it was a very nice atmosphere tonight and I want to thank people from Bayern for the hospitality they had before the game and during the game."
FC Bayern Munich head coach Andrea Trinchieri:
"We played against, at this moment, the team with the best shape in the entire EuroLeague, and I would say in the end, the last minute and 40 seconds of the second quarter and the third quarter were the key factors of this loss, because we were tied 33-33 and made 4 offensive fouls in a row. And we gave them also six gifted free throws. And in the third quarter, they were better and we didn't find a way to play offense. So I can say we missed 4-5 players but I believe that even if you miss 25 players, you can make fouls. Performances come and go, we had a very good month, now we are a little bit struggling, it is part of this insane schedule but the thing is, when you are not able to use fouls before the bonus to help your defense, that is short in rotation, you miss big guys, you miss swings and all these things, it becomes impossible to play. That is the only thing that I have to say to my team. All the rest was part of this tough game against a very good opponent, and congratulations to Partizan."
