In the press room, after the culé victory to achieve their 20th League, the first words of Sarunas Jasikevicius after achieving his second ACB as culé coach went directly to the horrible episode. “I want to talk about what happened about James Nnaji here. it's a pitiful thing. It just can't be. A lot was heard talking about Vinicius. And this has to stop now. This does not go with what you say here about the values of Real Madrid, we have to be very angry. This cannot be, we are going to fight against this. It's more important than the title”, declared Saras, with a gesture of real concern: “It doesn't matter if it's a player from Madrid, Barcelona or another team”.

Inside WiZink, a very heated atmosphere from the beginning, total pressure on some referees who had been questioned since the two games at the Palau, the usual insults to Niko Mirotic were also heard again. The power forward, MVP and protagonist of the final for his controversial goodbye to Barça, also spoke about these episodes and confessed that it was the reason why he did not bring his children to the Madrid venue.
