Real Madrid failed to retain the EuroLeague title following the loss to Panathinaikos in the final.
The Royal Club is the most successful club in the Basketball Champions League in the history of the European continent, having won the title 11 times, most recently in last season’s edition.
But this time, the Merengues were unable to win the twelfth star, and lost the final with a score of 90-85 to Panathinaikos, which won the title for the seventh time in its history.
Some considered this defeat a bad omen for Real Madrid, whose football team is preparing to compete in the Champions League final next week against Borussia Dortmund.
Of course, the circumstances of each game are different from the other, and given Real Madrid’s history in basketball, losing the final is usual, as it has lost the title 10 previous times, including this year’s edition.
