Bluts coach Enzo Maresca expressed full respect for Paris Saint-Germain at a pre-match press conference, but first talked about the achievements his team has achieved to this point.
Maresca: "First of all, we are very happy to be here. We are honored because there were 32 teams participating in the game a month ago, and we were one of the top 16, from the top 16 to the top 8, and then to the top 4, and finally to the final. So, we are very happy and proud to be here."
"About Paris Saint-Germain, I worry about the same as any other opponent. I try to help the team prepare for the game in the best way, provide as much information as possible, and let the players perform well on the court, which is my most concern. I will do my best to prepare for the game and respect every opponent."
