Mr Giannakopoulos’ wish-invitation to Mr Bertomeu to watch Games 3 and 4 at OAKA

“On Tuesday and Thursday we are hosting a great team, Barcelona, at the OAKA arena, aiming to prevail in both encounters to be held at our home court, having proved able to accomplish it in Spain. It is mandatory for all to input towards a smoothly running encounter/promotion of the League, in a festive and decent atmosphere, in direct respect and trust in our athletes and all involved in the game, worthy of our PANATHINAIKOS’ legend and fame.

All to be present at the arena will have only one goal: To support our PANATHINAIKOS in unison with our presence and our voice and to entirely protect it, avoiding even the slightest misdemeanor which could put our team’s stride in harm’s way, even if provocations take place. Not a single object, not a single laser beam. It would be a shame for us to be the ones to hit the brakes on our athletes’, coaches’, fans’ and team’s administration’s superb effort this season.

To conclude, it would be an honor and our supreme pleasure to host Euroleague’s administration in our hospitable home court, if it does so choose to travel to Athens for the upcoming encounters.”
