The German basketball champions Bayern Munich have shown comeback qualities in the Euroleague and made an exclamation mark against Real Madrid.
The team of world champion coach Gordon Herbert defeated the top Spanish team Real Madrid after an increase in performance with 90:84 (44:57) and achieved their third victory in the seventh game in the premier class.
The match winner for Munich was Canadian Isiaha Mike with 29 points and seven rebounds. After a lightning start of 10-0, the Munich team initially lost the thread in the SAP Garden, but rose strongly after the break. Long-time NBA professional Spencer Dinwiddie was still missing from Munich’s squad five days after the change was announced.
Thursday against Bologna
FCB suffered a significant home defeat against Olympiakos Piraeus (71:96) in the EuroLeague the previous week and gave up a win in the prestigious duel against Alba Berlin (61:67) in the Bundesliga at the weekend.
The next top team is already waiting for Bayern on Thursday: the Italian champions Virtus Bologna around ex-Munich player Carsen Edwards.
