Llull: 'This is the Real Madrid DNA: heart and character'

Sergio Llull, Rudy Fernández, Fabien Causeur and Adam Hanga spoke to the media after Real Madrid won their eleventh European Cup. Our captain, responsible for the victory with the final basket against Olympiacos, stated: 'It's a huge pleasure. I still can't believe it because it was the only basket I scored in the game. We've done a great job throughout the season and we're very pleased with what we've achieved'.
 
'This is the Real Madrid DNA: heart and character. When the tactics fail, that DNA of never giving up comes out. We played a very tough playoff and made history by coming back from 0-2 down against Partizan. Later, in the Final Four, we believed we could win and we did. The three Euroleagues I've won are very special'.

The winning basket
'I don't consider myself a legend. Hopefully I'll be playing for this club for a long time to come. The coach drew the play for me in the timeout, he made me shoot. Luckily, it went well. I tried to go to my right and I stopped in the middle of the area because their big player was inside and mine had given me a meter. I raised the ball and it went in, so great. The coach and my teammates trust me to take this kind of shots and I'm very happy to help get the win'.

Rudy: 'It's undescribable what this badge means'.
'It's been a tough season, with casualties and suspensions, but it's undescribable what this badge means. It represents to continue believing, it's an honor to experience this kind of games and a third Euroleague. The playoffs were very tough for us and we continue to believe. All of us who were on the court have given everything to get the reward'.

'We deserved it. We have to continue believing and I hope I can keep enjoying nights like this with this group. Llull is a leader and takes responsibility in the big moments'.
