Following their 103-82 win against Crvena Zvezda (Estrella Roja) at the Movistar Arena on the 38th and final matchday of the regular season, white team coach Sergio Scariolo positively assessed the team's performance. He emphasized the remarkable consistency displayed throughout the 38 games played, a crucial factor in achieving this prominent position.
“"These were the games that told us we were on the right track and capable of competing with the best in Europe. And it's a legacy we've maintained. Then, obviously, we've had, like everyone, more brilliant and less brilliant moments. But the consistency has been extraordinary."
Scariolo also expressed satisfaction with the team's performance against the Serbian squad, highlighting their ability to respond to challenges. He mentioned the contribution of all players, giving special recognition to Alex Len for his professionalism and support from the bench, and to Usman Garuba for his outstanding game.
The coach reiterated the solidity of Real Madrid's regular season in a highly demanding EuroLeague. He considers finishing among the top three an outstanding result, although he views it as a "partial goal" on the path to the playoffs. Collective evolution and team cohesion are aspects the coach deems fundamental for approaching the next phase with confidence.
