In very favorable waivers, since its success in Milan (72-63) Thursday, AS Monaco can savor. With its fourteen victories, Monaco can no longer be beaten on the wire by Berlin (11), which had beaten it in the first leg (92-84) and will travel to the principality on Friday April 8 for the 34th day. Bayern Munich or Etoile Rogue Belgrade, who face each other this Friday, can also reach these playoffs. But the club from the principality has the advantage in the event of a tie, having won all four matches against the Germans and the Serbs.
A first since 2001 for a French club
This qualification of the Monegasque club for its first participation is also a first for the French Championship in the Euroleague. Never has a French club reached a top 8 in the Euroleague since 2002. The last club remains Asvel, in 2001 and 200 (quarter-finals) ASM also secures its place in the event next season since a new invitation is granted to the best placed – on condition of reaching the Top 8 – of the teams from the Eurocup, which is the case of Monaco, winner of the event in 2021.
