Barça, Real Madrid and Baskonia face the final stretch of Euroleague

MADRID 26 Feb. (EUROPA PRESS) –

Barça, Real Madrid and Baskonia will return this week to the action in the regular phase of the Euroleague 2024-2025 after the break by the disputes of the different national glasses and the ‘FIBA window’ and will make it forced not to fail too much If you don’t want to stay out of the postseason.

The maximum continental competition between its decisive line to define which six teams are classified directly for the ‘playoffs’ and that four are dedicated to play the’ play-in ‘to complete those that the ticket will be played to the’ final to four ‘of Abu Dhabi of the end of May.

These objectives are still within reach of the three teams of the Endesa League, although the one that is worse is the Baskonia, which practically has discarded get into the ‘Top 6’ when there are eight days. The set that Pablo Laso trains is with a balance of 11-15 and has five triumphs to Bayern Munich German, current sixth classified, so he barely has a margin of failure and seems more realistic to fight for a ‘top 10’, also of Complex moment because it is three triumphs and it is not an easy field to recover.

The panorama is something better for Barça and Real Madrid, although neither is in the ‘top 6’ or can relax if they do not want to see their usual presence in the postseason and will also return to action with a classic in a classic in a classic in The Movistar Arena this Thursday that is vital for both.

The Blaugrana and Real Madrid team are showing them very irregular in this Euroleague campaign, but the panorama is something ‘better’ for those of Joan Peñarroya, who are in the ninth position with an at least 14-12 balance before visiting To those of Chus Matthew, eleventh with 13-13 after another bad streak with three consecutive losses at home against As Monaco, the Anadolu Epes and the Fenerbahce.

The eleven times European champion needs to continue with its good streak in this year’s classics, since it has won the three that have been played, not to be in danger of a ‘top 6’ that is distant, three wins. One less is for a Barça who aggravated all his doubts with an early elimination in the Copa del Rey against Laguna Tenerife.

However, Blaugranas and Madrid players cannot confirm those who come from behind in an extremely equalized regular phase and without a clear dominator, with Greek Olympiac leadership (19-7) and where they are tied with 16-10 from the third to sixth to sixth , so a triumph or defeat changes the stage every day.

Most beneficial calendar for Barça

The calendar for all is disparate and with only a double demanding weekly day on the road. Barça is surely the one that can have it best since it will have three consecutive games in the Palau Blaugrana against direct rivals (partizán, Zalgiris and Bayern) and that will arrive after two followed exits, that of the Movistar Arena and a theoretically affordable before the colista Alba Berlin German. Then, he would have to visit another direct rival like the EA7 Emporio Armani Milan Italiano of Nikola Mirotic and the Turkish Fenerbahce of Sarunas Jasikevicius to close at home against an Italian virtus that already seems erawed.

Real Madrid must be amended above all at home if he does not want Before the Virtus, which will be after that of the current champion. In addition, it will not be able to fail in the Movistar Arena where it is more solid being and where it will receive, apart from Barça, two direct rivals such as Armani Milan and Paris Basketball, and to Asvel Villeurbanne, with consecutive duels at home against Lyon’s team and that of Ettore Messina.

Finally, Baskonia will surely need more than half of victories if you want to aspire to ‘Top 10’, with the obstacle of having five of its eight games away from Fernando Buesa Arena, where its current balance is 2-10. The Vitorian team will begin with a key visit to Zeljko Obradovic and its partizan, and will also pass through Berlin, a double per Istanbul on the double intersemanal day against Ephes and Fenerbahce, and by Milan, at the close of the regular phase. At home, you will receive Zalgiris, Bayern and Asvel.
