Barcelona Team News
The Barcelona basketball players did their job successfully in the first game. They overcame the first obstacle on the way to the Spanish throne by defeating Real Madrid 97-88 in a packed Blaugrana. Carried by the frenetic support of the fans for all 40 minutes, they showed a high level of quality on both sides of the floor and deservedly took the initial advantage.
It was a very demanding match. Both teams played very well for most of the game. The key reason for Barca’s victory in the first match is the fantastic defensive play in the second half. The team of Sarunas Jasikevicius allowed only 11 points to the opponent in the third quarter. They decided the second half in their favor with a score of 50-38 and, in that period, took a decisive step towards victory.
The most efficient individual among the Barcelona players was Nicolas Laprovittola, who scored 19 points. Nikola Mirotic, Tomas Satoransky, Sertac Sanli, Alex Abrines, Jan Vesely, and Oscar Da Silva also scored in double figures, meaning Barca had plenty of players in good spirits in this game.

Real Madrid Team News
Real Madrid basketball players played better in the first half than in the second. Their offense worked flawlessly in the first 20 minutes and scored 50 points. They led 50-47 in the period but ran out of gas in the third quarter. Although they played very well offensively in the last quarter, they lacked continuity in defense and conceded too many points.
They lost the battle to control the rebound, which was not often the case this season, and with a few bad fouls, they awarded points to the opposing players. Chus Mateo’s team have shown many times this season that they are one of the best defensive teams in Europe, so they must play much better in that segment of the game in the second match. Allowing a team to score 34 points in one quarter is inexcusable.
Sergio Rodriguez was the most effective among Real’s players. This experienced playmaker scored 16 points, Walter Tavares 15, and Sergio Llull 14.
💬 @MateoChus: “No hemos tenido el equilibrio ofensivo suficiente".

Barcelona vs Real Madrid Prediction
We expect that the ups and downs in Real Madrid’s defensive game will be much less in the second match and that they will maintain the optimal level of aggressiveness. Therefore, we believe it will be an even more uncertain game and that the last possessions will decide the winner.
