Chus Mateo: 'We put up a good fight but Partizan were very good.'
'We tried to play with discipline from the start and at times we lost it,' the coach explained after the game.
Real Madrid coach Chus Mateo analysed the team's Euroleague matchday 32 game at Partizan: 'It's not easy to win here. Partizan are playing very well at the moment and they played with a lot of energy. We would like to congratulate them because they deserve to get into the playoffs.'
'We tried to play with discipline from the start and at times we lost it because Partizan played such good defence. In two or three minutes in the second quarter we didn't understand that defensive toughness and they opened up a quite a gap. We were able to get back into the game and battled well until the end, but Partizan were very good.'
