Despite a twelve-point halftime lead squandered in a nightmarish third quarter, Monaco lost in the semifinals of the Euroleague basketball against Olympiakos (76-62) French basketball will have to settle for having brought a representative in the last four of the C1 for the first time since Asvel in 1997. The last club to have reached the final and to have been crowned European champion, in 1993, was Limoges.
ASM will try to climb the podium Sunday (16:00 French) against the loser of the other semifinal, played in the evening between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid.
