Spanoulis fires back at Peñarroya: “I don’t understand his comments”

The Monaco coach took issue with remarks from Barça’s Peñarroya, defending his team’s physical but clean style of play

Following Monaco’s 100-89 loss to Barcelona in Game 3, Vassilis Spanoulis praised Willy Hernangómez but pushed back against pregame comments from Joan Peñarroya.

“I read something about ‘different methods to win’—I don’t know if he meant elbows, but we play hard and clean,” said Spanoulis. “There’s been nothing dirty in this series.”

The Greek coach added: “I’ve never tried to influence referees. I focus on the game. These kinds of comments are unnecessary.”
