The Spanish-Montenegrin forward expressed his confidence that being the best team in the league, the club has to show that it can win it all.

"I don't like to talk about favorites, the home advantage means we've had a good season. We have to show that we are a team that aspires to win it all, and show our best performance. I have no doubt about that," he stressed.

When asked about the pressure of playing in a series like this, Mirotic warned: "If you're not prepared to handle it, you can't play for Barca. We have prepared very well to get to this point in the season. I expect a difficult game, but with a win for us," he added.

Finally, he expects the Palau Blaugrana, which will host the first two games of the series, to be as important as it has been during the regular season.

"The connection with the fans has been very good, they have responded and have been there when we needed them. I have no doubt that they will be there," he concluded.
