22:19
Of course, the foul of the Madrilenians comes immediately in the Bayern attack. It could even have been unsportsmanlike!
40
22:18
With his threesome, Andi Obst ensures that Bavaria is still alive! Jesús Mateo immediately takes the time-out.
39
22:17
Yabusele converts both, Bayern now needs three attacks before the final minute begins.
39
22:17
Now Andi Obst also dribbles, Guerschon Yabusele is allowed to go to the free-throw line.
39
22:16
At the other end, Sergio Llull is there again with a three. With the point drought in the second half, six points behind is quite a block.
39
22:13
The Bayern misses are particularly annoying because the chances are actually plentiful. The Trinchieri protégés get one offensive rebound after the next.
39
22:13
darn it! Another open threesome from Weiler-Babb, but again the disc is in the way!
38
22:12
Corey Walden lays out under the basket again to Nick Weiler-Babb, who, however, puts the open three on the disc. It’s got the worm in it!
37
22:10
On the other side, Guerschon Yabusele scores again for two after a fine assist. Andrea Trinchieri takes time out.
37
22:09
Cassius Winston runs out the shot clock. At first it seems as if he is pulling the offensive foul. Unfortunately, however, a step error is whistled.
36
22:07
That doesn’t exist, Othello Hunter doesn’t hit anymore either! Only one point separates both teams.
36
22:05
Already the fourth turnover of Walter Tavares. The Trinchieri protégés have now got the pick and roll of the Madrilenians well under control.
35
22:05
Now Winston tries it from the line of three, but also too short! Bayern cannot capitalize on the fact that Real’s offensive is clearly tired.
35
22:04
Winston could have made all the difference today, only missing three out of twelve.
34
22:01
But out of nowhere, the guests keep getting threesomes in the crucial moments, especially Sergio Llull.
34
22:01
Cassius Winston attacks the close-up and puts Munich back in the lead with great footwork! The audience is there again.
33
21:59
Cheers on the Bayern bench as Isaac Bonga cleverly anticipates Vincent Poirier’s offensive foul! Poirier has finished work.
32
21:58
Other Bayern throws from different distances do not fall. But the Munichers get two rebounds and put the ball in through Niels Giffey!
31
21:56
Paul Zipser tries from the outside, but still can’t find a rhythm.
31
21:55
Beginning of 4th quarter
30
21:53
Quarter conclusion:
Economical third quarter for both teams. With a four-point gap, everything is still possible!
30
21:51
Now the Madrilenians are countering again, out of nowhere Mario Hezonja scores for three.
29
21:51
The Madrilenians’ three-point quota has also fallen, and Sergio Rodríguez’s attempt bounces out again. Freddie Gillespie gets the rebound, Corey Walden scores one of the currently rare threes from the fast break and brings Bayern back to a point!
28
21:48
So far it’s 6:9 in the third quarter. And both teams continue to have problems offensively.
27
21:47
Christmas time in the Audi Dome! The spectators sway to Christmas carols during the break.
27
21:45
That is impossible! Andi Obst has actually already secured the layup, but Walter Tavares raises his hands again. However, the real fast break also remains fruitless.
25
21:43
Lying on the ground, Walter Tavares slipped out with the ball, there is no foul to be seen. Not everything is going well at Real either.
25
21:42
And Othello Hunter immediately follows up from a similar position! Bavaria is back!
24
21:42
Nick Weiler-Babb turns a very deep and very important threesome!
24
21:41
Musa converts two out of three attempts. Real is slowly pulling away and is ahead by seven points.
24
21:40
Wasn’t that a stepping stone? Sergio Llull holds the ball for a long time but then finds Džanan Musa, who fouls Othello Hunter on the three-point line.
23
21:38
Bayern also with problems. The 24 seconds run out, Niels Giffey and Nick Weiler-Babb lack ideas in this scene.
22
21:36
There is really no pace in the second round. Real is also having a much harder time attacking.
21
21:33
Now the referees have noticed the error and everything is correct again.
21
21:33
The second half begins! The scoreboard isn’t quite set up yet, both teams reportedly start with five team fouls.
21
21:31
Beginning of 3rd quarter
20
21:19
Mid-term conclusion:
Bayern started the game with an offensive firework display led by Othello Hunter and were in the lead for long stretches. Only towards the end of the second half did Munich run out of fuel – Real’s star ensemble took advantage of this and turned the game around with a 19:4 run. In the second half, Bayern has to get back to 100 percent against the favorites.
20
21:16
Jesús Mateo is taking another break. But the Spaniards play their last attack badly, instead Nick Weiler-Babb is allowed to go to the line again in the final second and at least hits one!
20
21:12
It is now a 17:4 run for the Madrilenians. Bavaria is probably running out of steam.
20
21:12
Pity! Freddie Gillespie gets blocked by Walter Tavares who doesn’t even have to stretch. Gillespie then has to commit the foul, his third.
19
21:09
Andrea Trinchieri takes the second time out. His team is actually still great in the game.
19
21:08
What a powerful move from Hunter past the opponent to the right corner! It’s a pity that the threesome doesn’t sit.
18
21:07
That’s what makes a top team: Llull fouls Obst and puts Real back in the lead from the free-throw line.
17
21:05
But Real also has offensive power. Sergio Llull nets a very gentle threesome from the right. The Madrilenians are back up to one point.
16
21:04
Now Hunter does it himself and attacks Tavares directly under the basket! The 36-year-old from North Carolina is leading the strong Bayern offensive today.
16
21:03
Sharp pass from Hunter to Harris, who sails straight out. Even if the feat fails, it speaks for Bayern’s self-confidence.
15
20:59
The Munich offensive fireworks continue! Othello Hunter takes a very deep threesome. At 32:25 the guests take their first time-out.
14
20:56
Isaac Bonga with the three from the right corner! Bayern takes the lead again.
13.
20:55
Block from Freddie Gillespie! Or not? He gets called the foul! Difficult decision, Andrea Trinchieri is of course not at all amused.
13.
20:53
Real comes up to one point through Mario Hezonja. Andrea Trinchieri immediately takes the time-out, he doesn’t seem to have liked the defensive behavior in this scene at all.
12.
20:51
Isaac Bonga with the fastbreak points! Bayern also got off to a good start in the second quarter.
11.
20:51
It continues with ball possession for Real. However, the royal team did not succeed in the threesome, after Vincent Poirier’s offensive rebound against three opponents, Guerschon Yabusele lost the ball!
11.
20:49
Beginning of 2nd quarter
10
20:49
Quarter conclusion:
Bayern put in a great quarter against Real Madrid and are a point ahead thanks to a great attacking performance! Let’s see if the threesome rate can be kept that high.
10
20:46
Now, however, an airball from Cornelie, Bayern will go into the quarter break with a lead!
9.
20:45
And then again the pick and roll over Tavares, Real takes the lead again.
9.
20:44
With such a performance you would certainly have won against Baskonia and Bonn. However, Real can almost always counter the three, especially through Petr Cornelie.
8th.
20:43
For this, Corey Walden nets the next three from half left! The Munich show offensive like transformed!
8th.
20:42
Pity! Paul Zipser also starts a threesome, but throws a little too short. He still lacks rhythm.
7.
20:42
Who would have thought? Bayern is clearly improved offensively today. Corey Walden puts the FCBB in the lead with three points!
6.
20:41
However, Bayern have big problems under their own basket. The pick and roll over Walter Tavares always works.
6.
20:40
It’s possible! Cassius Winston also mingles with the point hunters. Bayern is up to two points!
5.
20:38
Othello Hunter with the next threesome! All six Bayern points go to his account.
4.
20:36
Andrea Trinchieri is already at 180: Not only that his team is now 3:7 behind. A referee’s decision also enrages the Italian, but the ball possession decision is corrected.
3.
20:33
The shot clock is running out slowly, so Winston’s hasty three-pointer falls far short. However, Alberto Abalde does not do it any better on the opposite side from dribbling.
2.
20:32
Othello Hunter appears with a three and a strong block! The three-way ratio was probably the biggest problem against Baskonia and Bonn.
1.
20:31
And off! The atmosphere in the hall is excellent, the ranks are full.
20:28
the Starting Five: Niels Giffey, Elias Harris, Othello Hunter, Nick Weiler-Babb and Cassius Winston start for Bayern. Real starts with Alberto Abalde, Petr Cornelie, Džanan Musa, Nigel Williams-Goss and Walter Tavares.
20:26
Trinchieri before the game: “Real have a fantastic squad, they have everything, individual quality, size, athleticism and tons of experience. They’re fighting for the title again, that’s for sure. The rhythm of the game doesn’t make it any easier, but we hope that “Our fans give us the energy we need. We’ll try to do our best on the court.”
20:09
Bayern surprisingly won the last meeting with Real Madrid: in the Spanish capital in April 2022, the Munich team won 97:88 thanks to a 38:13 in the final quarter on the last day of the last Euro League season. As is well known, the Madrilenians only lost 57:58 to Anadolu Efes in the final.
19:57
While Nick Weiler-Babb is back, Vladimir Lučić, Žan Šiško and Augustine Rubit are still unavailable. You don’t have such worries at Real Madrid – due to the wide squad you could even afford to rest star center Walter Tavares in the 103:89 home win against Manresa at the weekend.
19:52
Bayern lost the game last Thursday at Baskonia (53:78) and at the weekend in Bonn (68:78) quite clearly due to weak offensive performances. Today, despite the heavy workload (games against Valencia and Braunschweig are still pending this week), Andrea Trinchieri is trying to find new ways to get the opposing basket.
19:39
Have a nice evening and welcome to Bayern’s top EuroLeague game against Real Madrid! Munich have recently suffered two defeats in a row and are now hoping to find their way back to success against the Madrilenians who are on the playoff course. It starts at 8:30 p.m.!
