According to Kostas Melayess from Gazzetta.gr, the team will fly out from Lithuania immediately after the third-place game and will not stay to watch the final, which starts at 19:00 CET.

The decision was made after the semifinal on Friday. Initially, the organization had planned a flight from Kaunas to happen past midnight at around 1 AM local time.

It is the third EuroLeague Final Four for Barcelona and the third in a row that will end without a title with second and third-place finishes in the years before. "For me, it's a huge disappointment," head coach Sarunas Jasikevicius said in the post-game press conference.

Despite the lack of success recently, Barca's technical director Juan Carlos Navarro still considers Saras as an option to coach the team in the upcoming season.
