Jasikevicius: We cannot forget what happened; Lasso: I would like to repeat the year 2018

Basketball players from Real Madrid and Barcelona will meet tomorrow (21) in the semi-finals of the final four of the Euroleague.

This season, the two teams played six games, and Barcelona won five times.

Barcelona eliminated Bayern in the quarterfinals with 3:2, although they finished first in the league, while Real Madrid was better than Maccabi in three games.

"I think you can't forget what happened. I think you have to learn from it, it's obvious that tomorrow will be a new game starting from 0:0 and we have to take into account what we did well and what we did badly," said Barcelona coach Sarunas Jasikevicius.

The most valuable player of the Euroleague, member of Barcelona, ​​Nikola Mirotic, said that he does not believe that his team is the favorite in the final tournament.

"The first day I put on this jersey, I knew about the pressure and expectations. It's something I'm used to, it pushes me to become a better player," said Mirotic.

Real Madrid coach Pablo Laso said that he would like to repeat the year 2018, when he won the Euroleague with that team in Belgrade.

"I would like it to happen again, but it's different years, different teams, but certainly a great basketball city. I've said it before, it's always a pleasure for me to come to this city where great teams and players play," Laso said.

Olympiakos and Efes meet in the first semi-final match.

The final four of the Euroleague is played in the Belgrade Arena. The semifinals are scheduled for Thursday, and the final and third place match on Saturday.
