The “red and whites” made an excellent debut in the series, despite the problems they had before and those that arose during the match. Through its excellent defense, his team Giorgos Bartzokas he was in control of the match at Barcelona’s stadium and, withstanding the “Blaugrana’s” counterattack at the end, he made the break, prevailing 77-75. At the same time, this was Olympiakos’ first win against Barcelona this year, as the Catalans went 2/2 from the EuroLeague regular season.
From here on, the Piraeus team will not have the best conditions in the second match either. Out remains o Kostas Papanikolaou, who due to an illness did not even travel with the mission to the capital of Catalonia. On the other hand, at 35.9” before the end of Game 1, he left injured – the very good player in the match – Philip Petrushev.
