Real Madrid visited the headquarters of the Community of Madrid and City Hall to present their eleventh European Cup that they won in Kaunas. During the event, the stars spoke to Realmadrid TV. Tavares, MVP in the Final Four, was delighted to have clinched the trophy: "It's as if I'm walking on air, it still hasn't sunk in yet. I started out in basketball pretty late and to be here now, winning two European Cups, that was unthinkable for me."

"I try and enjoy it as much as possible because tomorrow is a new day and we have to turn our attentions to next year and to the League title we're still playing for. The fans make this party even greater. The trophy lets us see the smiles on people's faces. That's more satisfying than the cup itself."

Sergio Rodríguez: “We are thrilled”
"I'm so happy and incredibly proud of all we have achieved so far. We know how tough it is to win it and we feel very proud."

"I wasn't too tense about Llull's basket. It was what he had to do, he was ready and he made it. He hit an unreal shot and to live that on court alongside him after so many years, so many achievements and disappointments together, it was just amazing."

Chus Mateo: “The fans are always behind us”
“It's slowly starting to sink in. It's a beautiful thing, incredibly emotional. Now we have to share it with the fans, who have always been right there behind us, we feel how close they are to us."

“There is a lot of work that goes on behind the scenes but not just mine, the whole coaching staff, and especially the lads, they have been fantastic. They have worked hard since September to get here, sometimes you win it, sometimes you don't. This makes all the work worthwhile."

Causeur: “The EuroLeague makes us so happy”
“It's been a really tough year both for me personally and as a team. The EuroLeague makes me very happy. We're on a great run but we have our feet on the ground and there is still lots to do yet. I hope we'll be back here in a month's time."

Ndiaye: “I hope I can win more trophies here”
“I hope I can win more trophies with Real Madrid because they have given me everything, the chance to play and win titles. I'm so grateful to be here."
