Emil Rajkovic, CSKA head coach:

Congratulations to Parma: the opponents showed great dedication, they were dangerous and aggressive, especially in the third quarter, when we tried to create a lead. They caught up with us and had a chance to win. But we controlled the game and managed to win. It will be a lesson for us: we need to defend better throughout the entire 40 minutes, concentrate more on what we agreed on before the game
