If the French Championship has rarely seemed so competitive, in the wake of its Euroleague engines which are Asvel and Monaco, the other European Cups seem the best way to credit this thesis. Of the six editions of the young Champions League, four have had an Italian representative in the Final Four.
“In recent years there has been more and more attraction. I remember the first time I did it with Asvel (2016-2017), it was a little wobbly, Limougeaud Nicolas Lang testifies to this, whose team welcomes Manresa, finalist in 2022 this Tuesday evening. This is one of the goals of the season: we are not there just to be there. “ On the eve of Szombathely’s welcome, Léopold Cavaliere, Strasbourg intern, confirmed: “In terms of level, the BCL does not have much to envy to the Eurocup, as it did in its childhood. “
According to the actors, the C3 acts as an engine. Jonathan Rousselle, the Dijon leader (who will travel to PAOK on Wednesday), insists: “We players are looking for this kind of thing: the Champions Cups, the multiplication of matches and this visibility. It is to understand well, to go as far as possible. It is a very important competition here, which has brought very positive things for the club.

We could have guessed it.
