That's how the organizing authority of the competition interpreted the huge scuffle that broke out in Madrid, in a statement published a couple of hours after the incident that took place with 1:40 left in Game 2 betweenReal Madrid andPartizan Mozzart Bet.

A scene that ended with 21 disqualified players from both teams. Guerschon Yabusele had to be taken to the locker room by his relatives and Real Madrid staff. Dante Exum left the installation on crutches. And the game was terminated when there was still time to play.

The EuroLeague sanctions will arrive during the day, however, according to Marca, Real Madrid intend to impose some harsh measures. Per the same report, the club's management thinks that the organization's reputation has been tarnished.

Fans, managers, coaches, and, even the players themselves, once they came to realize what happened, felt ashamed of the image shown to the world. Separating a confrontation with blows is something that escapes Madrid's thinking.

Real Madrid has an internal regime code for both football and basketball, which has always been applied in situations like that.

In this case, they will wait for the EuroLeague sanctions before making decisions. Even though Real Madrid appear resolute to defend the interests of the club in specific situations, according to Marca, they will be implacable in the face of the violent and excessive attitude of some of their players.
