Zenit's head coach Xavi Pascual summarized the third game of the quarterfinal series in the VTB United League against PARMA, which took place today in Perm. The blue-whites won 74:91 and secured their place in the semifinals.

— First of all, my congratulations to PARMA for this season and especially for the way that they play. But also for these great supporters that PARMA always have in home court. Also I want to say thank you to all the fans of Zenit that they came here and also that they support from home and from televisions.

One game that we opened very well the first quarter. I think we played excellent in both parts of the court, defensively and offensively. And from here, we took one big advantage, and we were managing very well during the rest of the game. And also, the third quarter was very good, and we made the break of the game.
