Braxton Key Reflects on Real Madrid Defeat

Fenerbahçe lost 95:76 away to Real Madrid in Round 9 of EuroLeague. With this result, the yellow-navy blue team suffered their third defeat of the season. Real Madrid, meanwhile, earned their sixth win and opened a gap on their rivals in the standings.

After the match, Braxton Key made a statement on his social media account. Noting that they had two wins and two defeats in away games, the player said they had aimed for four wins in four matches, but that this was a natural part of the process. Key stressed that there has never been a culture of blaming each other within the team and that everyone has kept up the shared fight.

Reminding that the season is still at its very beginning, Key said the difficulties they are facing will be valuable experiences for their growth in the future. He stated that it is better for such problems to happen now rather than in the later weeks of the season. He said the team still has a lot to learn, there are points that need fixing, and they have not yet found the rhythm they want. He also highlighted the difficulty of playing matches in four different cities within nine days.

Fenerbahçe will host Baskonia Vitoria Gasteiz on Thursday, November 5, in Round 10 of EuroLeague. The yellow-navy blue team wants to continue pursuing victory in this match and to get results after a difficult stretch.
