Basketball champion Bayern Munich freely hits the direct playoff ticket in the Euroleague in the final sprint. The team of coach Gordon Herbert in Belgrade against Maccabi Tel Aviv from the table cellar lost a wild game with 90:93 (44:48) a game day before the main round.
Next Thursday (April 10, 200, 8:00 p.m.), Bayern will face a real tremor against the title candidate for Fenerbahce Istanbul. In the Serbian capital, in which Maccabi plays his home games because of the war in Middle East, Carsen Edwards was the best thrower of Munich with 33 points.
Goal: direct Playoff qualification
With a record of 19 wins and 14 defeats, Bayern are only very thin in front of seventh, which would no longer entitle you to participate in direct playoff. The Herbert team had previously had the so-called play-in tournament.
The top six teams reach the championship, places seven to ten games in play-in two more play-off tickets. In the following quarter -finals, the participants will be determined at this year’s Final Four in Abu Dhabi (23 to 25 May).
The Bavarians had reached the round of the last eight in 2021 and 2022, and Herbert had issued the first move into the final Four for the first time before the current season.
