This is what the protagonists had to say after the Round 31 showdown between Panathinaikos OPAP Athens and FC Bayern Munich.
Post-game quotes: Panathinaikos vs. Bayern



Dimitris Priftis, Panathinaikos OPAP Athens head coach:
“I’m very happy because we insisted and deserved to win today. The guys deserved to win. We have a lot of problems but it’s good that we won today, we needed that.”
Andrea Trinchieri, FC Bayern Munich head coach:
“Congratulations to Panathinaikos, they were better. The first and last quarters killed us. In the first quarter we received 26 points without making one foul, and that was an unforgivable sin. Then we managed to play good in the second and third quarters to shorten the gap and make it a one-possession game. But then we didn’t have the energy or the players to do the right things in the last five minutes. This was the first game after 20 days of COVID and I expected a bad game, exactly like this. But at least I would like to have a better effort from some of my players.”

Howard Sant-Roos, Panathinaikos OPAP Athens forward:
“It feels amazing. Thank God we had a win, especially after what happened last week against Olympiacos. I’m really happy the team was able to bounce back and show some character here at OAKA.”
Daryl Macon, Panathinaikos OPAP Athens guard:
“It feels good to finally get a rhythm back. But without my teammates, I can’t do anything. They set everything up for me, I just try to bring the energy and hopefully everyone will follow. I think we should keep going like this and everything will be alright. Things happen in basketball, you have ups and down, people get injured and sick. It’s next guy up, all 10 guys, 12 guys, however many we have. Everybody has to be ready when your number is called.”
