Andreas Pistiolis, CSKA head coach:

I'd like to thank the CSKA fans for their loud support, which we could clearly hear, and the fans from St.Petersburg for the fantastic atmosphere in the arena. We played very seriously and with composure today against a strong opponent. We focused on defense after defending below average in previous games. We managed to completely control the game, with the exception of the fourth quarter, when we allowed Zenit to get back into the game. Overall, I'm pleased with the team's performance. We've finished the regular season and are preparing for the playoffs.
