The coach of Panathinaikos Dusko Ivanovic stated after the game against Barcelona:
"I think we lost a great chance to beat FC Barcelona on the road. Our defense was worse in the third quarter. We didn't have a good start after the break and it is not the first time that this happens to us. Even with that, the game went down to details. It is a long way and I believe we can face anyone. We have to be ready for these kinds of games. Marcelinho Huertas had a great shooting night. He is talented in a number of things, not just shooting. In the end, we lacked one good defensive stop and one fewer turnover."
