Real Madrid basketball players fight for playoff spot

For those who did not manage to buy tickets for the 2025 Euroleague Final Four semifinal games in Abu Dhabi, there is still a chance to take part in this exciting event that attracts basketball fans from all over the world.

In the meantime, the regular season continues, and few teams in the Euroleague this season have been as good as Real Madrid. On May 26, 2024, Panathinaikos of Athens beat Real Madrid in the Euroleague Basketball Final. The meeting took place in Berlin and ended with the victory of the Greek team with a score of 95:80, but this year the Madrid team is confidently winning victory after victory, and most likely, we will see them in the final meeting of the Final Four. Real Madrid recently beat the stubborn and daring Virtus Segafredo Bologna 67-80 away, which allowed the Madrid team to rise to 11th place - one place below the playoff spot. In the third quarter, Jesus Mateo's team made up twenty-two points, and despite the hosts' late lead, Virtus was unable to reduce the gap to single digits, which is why they have not yet secured a playoff spot.

The tournament table is so tight that several teams have a minimal gap in points, so much can change before the end of the regular championship. Real Madrid's next match is against the rather difficult club ASVEL Villeurbanne. But the main test for Jesus Mateo's basketball players is still ahead, because Madrid will finish the season with four matches against teams fighting for a place in the playoffs: Milan's Emporio Armani EA7, Crvena Zvezda, Paris Basketball and Belgrade's Partizan Mozart Bet. All opponents are more than experienced and dangerous, they will not forgive even the slightest mistake to the opponent from Madrid. In addition, they will have to play Serbian clubs on their home stadiums, which will be a difficult test for Real.
