Galatasaray complained about the outcome of the match of the 6th round of the Top 16 phase of the Euroleague against Maccabi (94:97), the Spanish media announced.

The Turkish club was dissatisfied with the refereeing and, especially, at the end of extra time when Alex Tajus blocked their player's shot.

"They stole our victory, the referees had to watch the replay in the last seconds, as stated in the rules. The sponsor of the Euroleague is a Turkish company, but the Turkish team always acts as a victim, it's time to stop it. We fought like lions, but the referee decided the outcome," said Ergin Ataman, coach of Galatasaray.

According to the representatives of the team from Istanbul, the center of the Israelis stopped the ball after it reached the highest point and began to descend into the basket.
