Here are some insightful comments about the game from the protagonists themselves.
Pre-game quotes: Real vs. Milan



Real Madrid head coach Pablo Laso:
"Milan is a solid team, with experienced players on all positions. Delaney, Chacho, Datome, Melli, Hines... Hall is also playing at a great level. A complete team on the top tiers of the standings and playing great. They had a bit of injury problems, like all other teams, but they remained competitive. We have to be aware that we play against a great opponent that is playing great defense in general, and they also move the ball well in offense."
Real Madrid player Adam Hanga:
"I hope it's a game in which we can change dynamics. We have suffered a lot lately and we want to change that. We improved a bit over Zvezda, but accuracy still needs to be improved. We play at home and we want tu turn things upside down with our fans by our side."

AX Armani Exchange Milan head coach Ettore Messina:
“It is obviously a very difficult game because Real Madrid will be ready to play with extreme focus and determination, offensively and defensively, using its entire potential. Unfortunately, we won’t have Shields, Datome and Kell, and also we won’t have Sergio Rodriguez with us; he asked to stay in Milan for personal reasons. It is clearly a huge loss for us. Against Real Madrid, the first order of problems is always trying to stay competitive in rebounds and to have good spacing offensively to limit the struggles against Tavares’s presence in the middle. We hope to do well in this regard and play a very good game.”
AX Armani Exchange Milan guard Malcolm Delaney:
“This is a very important game for the standings and the homecourt playoff push. Real Madrid is a very good team, coming off of a few losses, so we know they’ll have extra motivation at home in front of their crowd.”
