Following the loss, player Roman Sorkin expressed disappointment and shame, stating, "We should have looked better and come better prepared. I can only speak for myself, but this is not how we wanted to finish." He emphasized the team's need to perform at a higher level, adding, "We need to play better, I'm talking about myself right now and not criticizing anyone. I have no excuses, only the fact that we must play better and appear differently in games."

Sorkin reassured fans that he has a three-year contract with Maccabi and will remain with the club, stating, "Life is full of lessons, I have learned and will learn from this.
