THE Thomas Satoranskywho watched the series knowing that Barcelona’s opponent in the top four would emerge from it, emphasized that the final result was definitely influenced by what happened in the second game.

In detail what he said:

On whether the series was affected by the fight: “For sure. Without Pander, it seemed that, especially against the zone, he was being looked for and wasn’t on the field. The series had it all. It was impossible to predict anything before the fifth game.”

For Real: “They gave a great effort, especially in the third and fourth games, playing in front of 20,000 people. They were also affected by the sanctions. You can never write them off. They have players with the identity of winners like Rudy Fernandez or Sergio Yule, who have won everything.”

For Tavares: “He is one of the game changers in Europe. He has some spectacular matches offensively, but it is incredible how the defense changes when he is on the field. It affects many shots and strikes fear into shooters. You have to play a certain way against him and that makes him a game changer.”
