Chus Mateo, the coach of Real Madrid, spoke to the media after the conclusion of the 11th round EuroLeague match against Fenerbahce.
“The Royal Club” was on the verge of its 11th win of the season and had everything under control. However, the resilient Fenerbahce did not surrender until the last moment. First, they erased a 15-point deficit, forcing overtime, and in the additional five minutes, Yam Madar became the hero of the match.
Real Madrid had possession and a one-point lead, with the Turkish team employing full-court pressing. Marko Guduric intercepted a pass from Facundo Campazzo, and the Israeli player made a layup for the win by 100:99.
“This is basketball. They won after a phenomenal game. We fought until the last second, but the last turnover added extra drama to the finale and resulted in a loss. We have to keep working as we have done so far,” said Chus Mateo.
