ALBA Berlin is looking to pull off a championship upset against favorites Bayern Munich and win the title in the Basketball Bundesliga finals. The Berliners are relying on their extra meters and want to win the title in the best-of-five series. Michael Rataj said after the 71-61 home win on Friday evening: We now have to close the deal. Because with the win in the fourth game of the series, everything is open again. Bayern has the home advantage, but ALBA Berlin has the momentum. Jonas Mattisseck said: The good thing is that the pressure is on them. Almost everyone had expected Bayern to be the champion, so ALBA Berlin can play freely and without pressure. For the Berliners, however, Bayern remains the favorite. The advantage is with the Bavarians, just like it has been throughout the series. ALBA Berlin is also going into the decisive game with confidence. After all, they had turned the game around on Friday despite being down by ten points in the third quarter and had defeated the Bayern. This characterizes us as a team, that we never give up. That's our identity, said Rataj. While the Bayern were getting tired, ALBA Berlin was able to push again. It was the extra meters that paid off, said Malte Delow. ALBA Berlin needs to bring high intensity again, especially in defense, which was able to throw the Bayern off rhythm on Friday. ALBA Berlin convinced as a team. We have to do what made us strong as a team and what brought us here, demanded Delow. And it shouldn't fail because of a lack of strength. In a game five for the German championship, it doesn't matter what the weather is like or how much the body hurts. We're all ready, said Rataj. ALBA Berlin had already won the second game of the series 86-79 in Munich, where former ALBA coach Svetislav Pesic wants to retire as champion with the Bayern on Sunday.
