The two outsiders of Friday’s semi-finals managed to overcome the two Spanish teams that were favourites, with the Germans knocking out hosts Malaga and the Israelis knocking out holders Tenerife.
“Our team is special and we got this far because all along the way none of us had our minds to ourselves and we are just happy that, all together, as a whole we had the opportunity to fight for a common goal“, said the coach of Bonn, Tuomas Isalo.
“We are not favourites. It’s going to be a battle and we’re not preparing for anything less. Bonn is a team that plays defense and attack, they have tall players who can move well and play with energy, they can shoot and score“, said the coach of Hapoel, Aleksandar Dzikic.
For Bonn, this is the first European final in its history, as until this year it had only one appearance in the semi-finals of the FIBA ​​Europe Cup in 2017. In fact, the German team has not won a title even within the walls. On the other hand, Hapoel Jerusalem, which has already won the Israel Cup this year, is claiming the second European title in its history after the Uleb Cup in 2004.
At 18:00 the minor final between Malaga and Tenerife will be held.
