The coach of Panathinaikos BC Superfoods, Xavi Pascual, said after the game against Brose Bamberg:
"I really want to congratulate my team and the entire arena for this win. I don’t think we played the best possible basketball, but we won. At least we gave up only 68 points. We had more rebounds than them, more assists than them. But, I think we can do better… This is October and the first time for many players at this level. I am sure with our work ethic we will get better. "
"I think we played a very good game on offense. Mainly, for 40 minutes we played very well on offense. In the first half we did not score free throws, and that is why we did not score more points. On defense, more or less first 30 minutes we played well, but after that, especially in the last five minutes we lost concentration on defense. But it was a great game for us to start the EuroLeague at home, and it was an important win."
