Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade made a big splash in their comeback season in the Euroleague. Just one round before the end of the regular season, the Serbian powerhouse has mathematically secured a place in the Top 8, and it remains to be seen from which spot they will enter the playoffs and who they will have as their opponent.

Nenad Krstic told Mozzartsport that Partizan plays perhaps the most beautiful basketball in Europe and emphasized that "it is a big thing for Serbian basketball to have a representative in the EuroLeague quarter-finals."

"It's been a lot of years since one of our clubs was in the quarterfinals, since Crvena Zvezda in 2016. It's a big deal for Partizan, which probably play the best basketball in Europe, and that's been going on for the last few months," the retired player said.

"It's evident that have very good chemistry, which is probably the reason for this result," Krstic continued.

"They have a great chance for the Final Four, but it also depends on the position in which they finish. Even if they don't have the home-court advantage, they've shown that they can play against anyone," the ex-Partizan big man (2000-04) stressed.

"As a team, they progressed during the season. Their main strength is mostly in the team, plus coach Zeljko Obradovic, who does things phenomenally," said Krstic.
