The red and whites of Piraeus dethroned Fenerbahçe in a game that was mostly one-sided.
– We lacked creativity in the first half. Only five assists, and that is the basis of our game. In the second half, we were more patient, we found opportunities to score both in the net and outside. The defense was good for the entire 40 minutes, which is very important in games like this, where there is a lot of tension and intensity, so you need to play a solid physical defense, like we did – said Barcokas.
Next up is the final with Real Madrid, who have had a lot of injury problems, the latest in a series being Ousmane Garuba. This gives Olympiacos a certain advantage.
– Everyone knows we have a long bench. It has to be that way because we play two games in 48 hours, so we had to stay fresh for the final.
Olympiacos and Real will play the final on Sunday at 8 p.m. at the OAKA Arena in Athens, where there is no doubt that the Greek team will have significantly more support from the stands.
