Tomas Satoransky felt enthusiastic after FC Barcelona's victory against Real Madrid at home on Thursday night. He looked tired, as he has been dealing with ankle problems since the EuroBasket.

Next to him, Nico Laprovittola seemed frustrated due to his final turnover.

Last night, Satoransky showed how hungry he is to win titles, those he could not achieve in his first stage at Barcelona.

He was waiting for El Clasico like the kid who counts the days until Christmas.

"I do not remember this atmosphere at Palau. I would even say it is louder now than when I played here," said the Czech guard after the game.

Before his departure to the NBA, Satoransky fell in love with the fans. His energy, athleticism, and courage connected with Palau.

Nothing has changed in these six years.

The Czech shined against Madrid, destroying Sergio Rodriguez in the low post and leading the Blaugranas run at the beginning of the game.

Barca punched precisely where the advantage was. Satoransky attacked Rodriguez near the rim, producing 7 points and 1 assist in the first minutes of the game.

With Sanli and Tobey opened, the 30-year-old guard had enough space to choose the best option.

He also correctly read the situations when it was time to run the court, something Barca are trying to implement this season. More pace, more possessions.

Satoransky had his best season performance so far, making the 7.511 fans who crowd the old but magical arena burnt.

He finished the game with 12 points (7 in the first quarter), 7 rebounds, 5 assists, and 22 PIR.

"I'm happy that it could be in a big game like tonight," said Satoransky after the game in the locker room.

Some fans were waiting for him at the parking to take some photos.

"Sato, please, sign me this shirt," yelled a young boy with his parent ready to record the scene.

Barcelona's idol is back, and Satoransky couldn't be enjoying it more.
