On March 18, 2026, our Polfood team took a joint trip to the Uber Arena to experience the exciting Basketball Champions League game between ALBA Berlin and AEK Athens live.
ALBA started strong: captain Jonas Mattisseck made three three-pointers in the first ten minutes. After that, the guests from Athens caught up and temporarily took the lead. Thanks to a comeback in the second quarter, largely driven by the 17 points from the duo Hundt and Agbakoko, the Albatrosses were able to correct the score to 46:52 by halftime.
In the second half, the team fought its way back. Justin Bean scored a spectacular shot just before the shot clock expired, forcing overtime. In overtime, the Berlin team ultimately lacked the final bit of luck, so the game was narrowly lost 88:93 in the final period. Particularly noticeable was ALBA’s dominance in offensive rebounds (21).
For us as the Polfood team, which was on site as an engagement partner in the 2025/2026 season one thing stood out above all: this game impressively showed how important it is to fight until the very last second. An attitude that makes the difference not only on the court but also in everyday team life.
Despite the defeat, ALBA advances to the quarterfinals as second in the group. The ticket had already been secured, and now a strong group winner awaits, which is guaranteed to raise the level of excitement once again.
Our trip to the Uber Arena was a very successful experience, characterized by exciting moments of the game, a captivating atmosphere, and basketball at a high level.
