The 72:70 loss last night (Thursday) to Bayern Munich, probably closes the door on Maccabi Tel Aviv's chances to qualify for the Euroleague quarterfinals. The Yellows will have to win about eight of the ten games they have left (or in one word - a miracle) to qualify.
"The only thing we can do is keep fighting for our chance," Yannis Sapropoulos said at the end, "as long as we have a mathematical chance of qualifying for the playoffs we will fight for it."
Angelo Cloiaro is also starting to realize that the situation is getting complicated: "We fought and gave ourselves a great chance to win, but we did not do the job in the end. Unfortunately this is our story this season. We have very little time left to try to make our season."
Ante Žižić was frustrated precisely for the professional reasons that caused the loss: "We did a great job until the fourth quarter and played hard on both sides of the pitch, but in the fourth quarter they dominated and took rebounds. We made mistakes you can not make if you want to beat a team like Bayern. And despite everything, we got to a point where we could win and we couldn't take advantage of it. "
