ISTANBUL (AA) - Italy's head coach Gianmarco Pozzecco said he gave his credit card to his players to celebrate the win over EuroBasket 2022 favorites Serbia on Sunday.

In a last-16 game, Italy sent Serbia home with a 94-86 win.

Following the win, Pozzecco said, he gave his credit card to the players, adding that "they can do whatever they want to celebrate the victory."

"They threatened me: Don’t give us the wrong PIN number," he joked.

On Tuesday, Germany's 107-96 victory over Greece is one of the biggest surprises in the quarterfinals.

During a press conference, Germany head coach Gordon Herbert was asked if he would celebrate the big win with a glass of wine as he promised earlier.

Herbert said Dennis Schroder asked for his credit card after the game.

"I'm not giving my credit card to the players. Dennis [Schroder] wanted my credit card, I said 'I've been divorced 3 times, you're not going to like the limit'."

The Germans will take on Spain in the semifinals on Friday.
