Chus Mateo and Campazzo spoke after Real Madrid's Euroleague game 26 against Emporio Armani Milan. The coach analysed the game: "We started with energy, exchanging baskets, but we didn't stop their attack or their offensive rebounding. We wanted to get back on our feet in the second half, but it was a bit late because the difference was significant. We tried to come back in the second half being much more aggressive, we tried until the end and we came close to the win. We allowed Milan too much and that was the key."

"The season is very long. It was our 49th game today and we are at the top of the table and we had only lost three games. You learn from every game and we have to learn from this one to help us in the games that follow. We can probably be close to the top four at the end of the regular season. That's our objective. We're Real Madrid and we always want to win, it's in our DNA."

Moment of the season
"We've had a lot of injuries, people coming and going, and it's not easy to put everything in order overnight. Now we have to think about the next game, which is Lugo, and we're going to go for it. We have one week left to be at one hundred percent and that's what we're going to do."

Campazzo: "We have to turn the page and think about what's to come"
"We put in a good effort in the second half but we suffered from the mistakes we made in the second quarter. They scored big in the second quarter. We allowed them to get the offensive rebound and run. If we give them those options they are dangerous. We have to learn from this, turn the page and think about what's to come."

"I think it's normal in a season. You win and you lose. It's not normal for us to win every game and be unbeaten. We're going to have ups and downs but the important thing is how to face the next game."
