When I did my fault, stupid, I had a flash-black of my first final, very important. It was as a youngster with the Val-de-Marne, we played the Rhône.

When I see (Klemen) Prepelic do his lay-up, I tell myself it’s over. Nico, I don’t know where he came from. He pulls out his arm, and he goes into Batman mode. And very important, Rudy takes the ball, otherwise it’s (Vlatko) Cancar who has it. In my head, it was … pffff.
