Panathinaikos And Olympiacos went to Abu Dhabi’s Final Four with the psychology of the favorite in the semifinals with Fenerbahce and Monaco – accordingly – but they will have been defeated and will fight the “small” final, for 3rd place in this year’s Euroleague. The “Greens” first met the exclusion to follow the defeat of Piraeus by his team Vasilis Spanoulis.
Although Olympiacos legend, Vassilis Spanoulis put aside the emotion and led Monaco to Niki (68-78) and its historical first final in Euroleague (and himself in the competition as a coach).
This was enough to give joy to Panathinaikos’ friends. Some fans of the “greens” who remained at the “Etihad Arena” for the Piraeus match, dropped their former player and later “flag” of the Piraeus, shouting the name of the Monegasian and National Basketball coach.
