Sergio Yui was the last player to play in the final, and also became the last players to put the ball in the basket. Dejanan Musa stood frozen behind the bench, with his back turned to the pitch, and closed his eyes.

The league has 34 regular-season rounds, yet there is a sense that each game is fateful. Both finals ended with a one-point gap, and in both Yoy scored the last basket - but in one Real lost and in the other they won.
