V 25. krogu Evrolige je Barcelona v Atenah porazila Panathinaikos, tekma pa je žal dobila še tretji polčas. Na poti iz dvorane v hotel so bili napadeni sodniki, najhuje jo je skupil Italijan Luigi Lamonica.

The referees of Panathinaikos-Barcelona game were attacked by some strangers while they were on the taxi which was bringing them back to the hotel after the game, according to Greek media.

„Idioti so vsepovsod, jaz pa se počutim dobro,“ je za italijanski časnik Gazzetta dello Sport povedal Lamonica, ki je bil po napadu odpeljan v bolnišnico, kjer so ga oskrbeli. Potem so ga v spremstvu policije odpeljali v hotel. Napadalci so na taksiju razbili steklo, skupil pa jo je Italijan.

The incident took place on Kifissia Avenue, about 5 km from the Olympic Stadium. The criminal smashed the rear window of the taxi and injured Lamonica.
After being discharged from the hospital, Lamonica has been escorted by police to the hotel and to airport this morning https://t.co/UiSPdUBokW
