That was duly achieved and Mateo\u2019s men became the first team ever to recover from a 0-2 series deficit to advance into the Final Four.<\/p>\n<p>Then Friday&#8217;s semifinal against FC Barcelona saw Real fall 9 points behind shortly before halftime, but then roar back to overcome its old archrival in the second half. And the road to glory concluded as Sunday\u2019s title decider against Olympiacos Piraeus saw yet another comeback act, with Real overturning a 12-point deficit to take victory through a dramatic game-winner from Sergio Llull.<\/p>\n<p>Mateo said he believes that his team&#8217;s wild series of triumphs in the face of adversity was only possible because of the togetherness shown by his players, saying: &#8220;We knew it was going to be very tough, it was not going to be easy, but we believed, we believed until the end.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We never retreat. Everybody was ready to react. When problems came, we reacted. It was good to see how the players all joined together. It\u2019s unbelievable what we did. It was a very tough season, but with a very happy ending.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.euroleaguebasketball.net\/euroleague\/news\/mateo-hails-spirit-and-togetherness-of-triumphant-real\/?pageTitle=Homepage&amp;historyUrl=\/euroleague\/\"><strong>Source EuroLeague Basketball<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Real Madrid Head Coach Chus Mateo argued that a never say die mentality was the key factor behind the latest of\u00a0Los Blancos\u2019 record 11 continental crowns<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":146,"featured_media":331906,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_spbk_hide_featured":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[82,1],"tags":[],"rumors":[],"typology":[15725],"posizionamento":[],"class_list":["post-331905","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-euroleague","category-non-categorizzato","typology-comunicato"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Chus Mateo: We never retreat.
