Llull and Deck spoke to Realmadrid TV the day before the EuroLeague semifinal match (Friday, 8:00 pm CEST; Movistar Plus+). Our captain said: “I’m feeling very good. Proud of that shot and that EuroLeague we won three years ago and celebrated with the fans. And now excited for a new Final Four.”

What is the key to winning the EuroLeague?
“To have more hunger than the opponent, to want it more, and to go all out from the start. The team is focused, full of enthusiasm and excitement. We hope to play a good game tomorrow to have a chance to reach the final.” 

Deck: "We are very eager and motivated"
"We have prepared all year to be here where we are now, and we are now less than twenty-four hours away from the game. We are very eager and motivated. The feelings are very good. We know the atmosphere and expectations, but we will try to focus on ourselves and do our things well. Whenever we do that, there will be a chance."

Keys
"Being solid from the first minute to the fortieth against a great team. Knowing how to stay focused and attentive to those surges they will surely have. When bad moments come, staying closer together than ever, and then trying to do better, look for the best option, and find the right man."

Missed the last Final Fours due to injury
"I really wanted to play, but it wasn’t possible. Now, the sport has given me this opportunity to play my Final Four tomorrow, and I’m going to give one hundred percent."
