Olympiacos coach Lorenzo Micelli stated that he was completely satisfied with winning the trophy:
"I am very proud. This was the first trophy, and at a time when Panathinaikos was playing well, we needed luck and today it covered us in the decisive moments. We deserved more last year, but this year we are ambitious to catch up, so I want to thank the girls and the entire staff."}
