Andreas Pistiolis, CSKA head coach:

First of all, I want to thank all the fans who came today. It means a lot to us, their support was really great. It is important to me that in the difficult moment, the team responded well and showed character. But we need to get at least one win in St.Petersburg, the job is not done yet.

Amath M'Baye, CSKA forward:

It was a good game, the team responded well to what happened in the previous game. In comparison to it, we were focused from the very beginning, we followed our plan. However, we do not forget that this is a series, and we still have to win twice more.
