VIDEO. Olympiakos – Monaco: smoke bombs, firecrackers… Surreal scenes at the end of the Euroleague match
These are scenes you hardly ever see in a basket room. Except in the Piraeus room. There were only ten seconds left to play in a decisive match for qualification for the Euroleague Final Four, long dominated by Monaco, this Wednesday, May 4. Olympiakos regained the advantage and is heading towards qualification (94-88)). The supporters can’t wait any longer, and don’t notice that the clock hasn’t run out.
Smoke bombs and agricultural bombs in the room
A crowd brings dozens of movements of spectators onto the field. The Monegasques are dumbfounded, the Greek players ask for calm and a return to the stands so that the match can go to an end.
Smoke bombs are cracked in the stands, although the meeting takes place in a closed room. Agricultural bombs with super-powerful detonations shake the walls and startle everyone. Kevin Durant, the Brooklyn Nets superstar, was present in the stands to see his great friend, Monaco point guard Mike James. The American mentioned “the apocalypse” on Twitter.
After an interruption of a few minutes, the time to find a clear ground, Olympiakos won its ticket for the Final Four. The public was quick to invade the floor and celebrate the victory with their players.
