Campazzo didn't hide that it was a tough game, but Real achieved their goal of securing a victory.

"Yes, we achieved our first goal, which was to finish as high as possible in the first part of the season. I think we're second or third, depending on some results, but we're happy with the overall assessment and what the team has accomplished. We still have a lot of room for improvement. The fact that after so many games and the end of the regular season, we still have room to get better speaks to how demanding we are and that we can do even more, especially on the road. We secured a very important win; we brought a physical game to defense, and on offense, we shared the ball well against a team that is very dangerous in one-on-one situations and has many players who can cause damage. I think we were very good." - Facundo Campazzo

Real kept a 'cool head' when it mattered most.

"A very important reward, but that doesn't mean the playoffs are over or anything like that. Here, to achieve bigger goals, which is trying to reach the Final Four, you have to win both at home and away. We will certainly face super-powerful teams that can beat you even on your home court, so there's still a long way to go. We've done a lot of the work so far, but now comes the 'fun part,' in quotes, the part where you have to grit your teeth the most. We need to train, focus on our game, and wait for our opponent." - Facundo Campazzo

He revealed what it was like to play in front of Dončić and Đoković.

"It was special. You know, they are both Crvena Zvezda fans, and Luka is also a Real Madrid fan. Having them in the arena is a great pleasure for everyone, not just Real, but also Zvezda. We really enjoyed having them here at the game." - Facundo Campazzo

He doesn't hide that Zvezda will have a tough time in the play-in.

"It will be tough. I think they have a great team with many dangerous players in multiple positions; they can hurt you in many ways on offense. They are very physical both offensively and defensively. I think we did a great job trying not to let them play easily. I wish them all the best in the play-in, and I know they will give their all." - Facundo Campazzo
