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

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.!
