Sergio Scariolo: The EuroLeague final was a great injustice

Scariolo’s reaction after the Baskonia defeat

Real Madrid’s coach spoke to the press after his team’s narrow loss to Baskonia in Round 33 of the Liga Endesa. This was Madrid’s first match since their painful EuroLeague final defeat to Olympiacos, a result that has sparked a lot of debate in the media about some late officiating decisions.

Scariolo said the team had been unlucky with refereeing in recent games, both in Europe and at home, but he was careful not to downplay Baskonia’s performance, acknowledging that they played very well. He also described the EuroLeague final as a serious injustice for his team, saying it was difficult to accept but now the focus must shift forward.

Looking ahead

With the season winding down, Real Madrid have little time to dwell on what happened. Their next match is on Friday, an away visit to Manresa in the final round of the Liga Endesa. Scariolo emphasized the need to move past the controversy and concentrate on finishing the domestic campaign strongly.
