Real Madrid has been crowned champion of the Euroleague 2022-23 after winning the Final Four in Kaunas. Along the way, they have beaten Barça and Olympiacos, the latter after an incredible, glorious, grandiose finish. It was cemented by a spectacular three-pointer from Sergio Rodríguez and culminated in a brutal suspension from Sergio Llull. It is the success of Chus Mateo, who is claimed. Also that of Chacho, who has finished the season in an exceptional way. That of Llull, who scores a shot for posterity. That of Rudy Fernández, who continues adding titles at 38 years of age. That of MVP Edy Tavares, glorious under the boards and with an exhibition in the semifinals that will always be remembered. And that of all Real Madrid, who have won a Euroleague that seemed impossible. Unthinkable.
Among other things, for the 0-2 against that he managed in the series against Partizán, in the quarterfinals. A tie marked by the scandal in the form of a fight starring in the second round and which ended with a string of sanctions, including a Guerschon Yabusele who lost 5 games and he had to see the success in Kaunas from the stands. The embarrassment raised dust and caused much controversy. But Partizan has buried the hatchet after the white triumph and has surrendered to the champion in a tweet that has quickly gone viral and has caused many positive comments due to the sportsmanship shown by the Belgrade team.
“Congratulations on winning the Euroleague. You showed incredible character and set an example for all of us of how far the team can go if they believe to the end!”, reads the statement. A great gesture with which you want to forget a fight that, in reality, will take a long time to forget.
