Olympiacos eyes EuroLeague title as Bartzokas and Fournier speak up

Olympiacos secured a place in the EuroLeague Final Four after defeating Monaco in the quarter‑finals on 5 May 2024, winning by a wide margin (102‑85 in one report, 105‑82 in another). Coach Georgios Bartzokas praised the team’s effort, said there is no clear favourite in the Final Four and warned that modern basketball is drifting toward individualism, stressing the need for collective play. He also mentioned the team will travel by bus and highlighted the health and experience of the squad.

French forward Vassilis Fournier, after the victory, said the win is for the fans, not personal revenge, and expressed confidence that the team can bring joy and pride to its supporters. He noted the team's resilience despite injuries, the strong fan response in previous games, and his personal desire to see Olympiacos lift the trophy rather than focus on individual accolades.
