Munich (dpa) – FC Bayern Munich is still waiting for the first win of the season in the basketball Euroleague. The Bundesliga club lost against FC Barcelona on Tuesday evening at 73:84 (34:37) and the third game also remains without a point in the table basement. Already on Thursday (8.30 p.m./Magentasport) Olimpia Milan comes to the Isar.
As in the past quarter-final playoffs (2:3 for Barcelona), both teams fought a close match for a long time at the beginning of May. It’s 18:18 after the first quarter. At the break, the guests led just 37:34. Bayern could always rely on Augustine Rubit, who was Munich’s best with 13 points after 20 minutes.
But then Barcelona showed all their class. Even without the injured top star Nikola Mirotic, the team of Lithuanian coach Šarūnas Jasikevičius pulled away in the third round. Time and time again, the duo of Nicolas Laprovittola and Alex Abrines came easy and scored for a 12-point deficit after 30 minutes.
In the final quarter, the team coached by Andrea Trinchieri couldn’t get back into the game and ended up suffering the third defeat in the third match with 73:84. The best pitcher in Munich was Rubit with 19 points.
