It’s not a surprise that NBA players enjoy sports other than basketball, too. In the last few days, it is not just the NBA that has been exciting in the sporting world. The UEFA Champions League Final 2022 was played a day before, and it was Real Madrid who clinched the title. Madrid scored one goal in the 59th minute to beat LeBron James’ Liverpool, and multiple NBA players reacted to this match.

Real Madrid won 1-0 thanks to a goal by Vinicius Jr. near the hour mark. Carlo Ancelotti’s side then held on, owing in large part to Thibaut Courtois’ excellent effort.

Embiid loves football

Philadelphia star Joel Embiid tweeted “Hala Madrid” after the match. While the Sixers’ journey to this year’s title NBA title did come to an end, Embiid would surely be enjoying Madrid’s victory. He has been invested in football for a long time and has reacted to the game many times.

Luka Doncic is a Madrid fan

It isn’t just Embiid but multiple other NBA stars who time and again comment on football. Luka Doncic is one of them. He tweeted “It is nice to be a Real Madrid fan,” after Madrid’s victory. Mavericks lost to the Warriors just a few days back in the Western Conference Final, but Luka is probably over it. Despite their loss, he surely can enjoy Madrid’s victory.    

Before joining the Dallas Mavericks, Doncic played for Real Madrid in the EuroLeague. The Mavericks star had an incredible season this year, and he surely deserves a break now. Maybe not just watching, but even playing football at this point, can help him relax.
