Real Madrid 57-58 Anadolu EFES (May 21, 2022)

Pablo Laso Biurrun has been coach of Real Madrid since 2011, the one who has directed us the most games in history. He has also had a splendid career as a player, but as a coach he has given us titles every year, every year. Beside him, Rudy Fernández: who gave RM the plus of competitiveness to make that possible. And I don't forget Sergio Llull, the captain, white player since 2007 (he arrived with Joan Plaza), who also paved the way with Messina in what was the genesis of everything that came after.

This is a historic season for Real Madrid, as a club, as an institution. With so many problems, especially in basketball, with injuries, bad streaks, the bloody covid, veteran players, who have given us so much but have been so discussed (law of life). With all of this with us nowadays, both in football and basketball, we arrived in May to play the European Cup finals.

It is incomprehensible not to be madridista

It has been a season of faith, and I write it in the past tense as if the national championship was not yet left, but there have been so many emotions, such has been the journey lived today as well. By Rudi. By Abalde's crusader. For the bad leg of NW Goss. But we still had Llull's scream and madridismo. Rudy's hypnotic intelligence. The power of Tavares, the fight of Poirier, the immensity of Yabusele. We appeal to them and the unnamed. And we went out to play.

We are Real Madrid, we said. In Belgrade it was heard

The Real Madrid of conviction. A formidable rival, a challenge of those who like in the entity. We will not easily forget this trip. We won't, actually. Thank you Pablo. Thanks, Rudy. Thank you, Sergio. Thank you all.

Hala Madrid, despite everything and everyone
