Three days before meeting Maccabi Tel Aviv in the arena, Real Madrid recorded a surprising loss tonight (Monday), 79:77 to the Red Star Belgrade, as part of a rematch from the 18th round of the Euroleague, which was postponed due to the stormy weather in Spain last week.

After the losses to Andulo Zero and Milan, and the victory over Bayern Munich after extra time, Pablo Lasso’s players continued to falter even in the Vizink Arena against the Serbs, who came into the game from 16th place in the table and after a streak of four away losses. And if that wasn’t enough, the Blancos also lost Rudy Fernandez, who injured his back and left the game earlier than expected.

Except for a few minutes in the first half, the Red Star led for the vast majority of the game, and in the last quarter it had already completed a 0:10 run on the way to a record advantage of 12 points, but the Spaniards did not give up and managed to shrink to 79:77, but Jesse Carroll missed a shot With the buzzer, and failed to force overtime.

Hapoel Holon’s ex, Corey Walden, finished as the winner’s outstanding scorer with 18 points, and next to him, Eugenie Dorevich scored another 13 and Dopp Rith added another 10. On the other side, Rudy Fernandez led the loser with 11 points, Nicholas Laprobitola added a double double of 10 Points and 10 assists, and three more players scored 10 each: Gabriel Dek, Trey Tompkins and Jeffrey Taylor.
