Real Madrid

Despite the defeat, Ettore Messina believes his team showcased a good attitude towards the end of the game.

"We had a bad start to an important home game yet again. We can't afford to do this if we want to win anything. We must correct these mistakes before our first game in the playoffs, which will also take place at Vistalegre."

"Our attitude nevertheless improved and we were the Real Madrid team we aspire to be. We grabbed more rebounds, scored more points and defended better. We did well overall. I'm sure the final score would have been very different had we played the entire game with the attitude we showcased in the final quarter."

"We have to win our remaining games in the regular season and recover our players before the playoffs begin."
