The basketball players of FC Bayern Munich missed a surprise at the start of the round of 16 in the EuroLeague.
Coach Andrea Trinchieri’s team lost 67:77 (33:43) at clearly favored FC Barcelona. Already on Thursday there will be a second duel between the first and the eighth of the main round in the best-of-five series in the “Palau Blaugrana”.
Before the game, Honorary President Uli Hoeneß described his Bayern Munich team as “total outsiders” in an SZ interview. At the break, the gap was ten points. His team makes too many mistakes defensively, Trinchieri complained to “MagentaSport”. Bayern stayed tuned, but Barcelona didn’t let anything burn.
Vladimir Lucic was Bayern’s top scorer with 20 points. At Barcelona, Brandon Davies (19) was the most accurate.
