Ettore Messina, CSKA head coach:

My congratulations to Panathinaikos, they deserved to win. From our side, we played hard, but the quality of our game was not at the level required to win the game. We did what PAO did in Game 1: fought hard, got the lead but turned the ball over and over again. Now the score is 2-1 and we have to be ready to the Game 4.
