The guests from Spain were considered the hottest contenders for the title even before the quarter-finals. The team of star coach Šarūnas Jasikevičius played incredibly consistently throughout the season and in Nikola Mirotić they had the outstanding player in the EuroLeague in their ranks. “The first half was a very strong performance from us. But we lost concentration in the third quarter,” warned the Lithuanian, who wants to see “simple basketball” from his team for 40 minutes today.

After the 90:75 coup in Barcelona in game two, Bayern suffered another defeat in the first home game of the series on Wednesday and handed the home advantage back to the Catalans. The FCBB were already 18 points behind at the break and could not recover from that. So Munich is facing a do-or-die duel today. Andrea Trinchieri was less optimistic in advance, but combative. “They’re the favorites and we’re definitely the underdog with injured players. It’s the same as always now: you take your backpack home full of crap, look at it and try to find solutions,” said the Italian coach the host.
