Real Madrid expels and penalizes players ahead of the EuroLeague playoffs

Eight defeats in their last 10 games and from cup favorites, Real Madrid have turned into a punching bag in the EuroLeague. The Spaniards were defeated by Bayern Munich at the Wizink Center on Friday evening (April 8), they lost a 16-point lead at the end of the third period, with the atmosphere at home being heavy and having an explanation.

According to Encestando, management told Thomas Hertel and Trey Tombkins that they were free to pursue the next step in their careers, promptly fired them from the team, and at the same time fined Gerson Giaboussele for grossly unsportsmanlike conduct. All this while Pablo Lasso knocked out Hertel and Tombkins in the game against Bayern Munich.

So the Madrilenians remain with Sergio Yul – Nigel Williams-Goss in ace and Alberto Abalde as assistant, although it’s not his natural position. And the opponent in the playoffs? It will be Anadolu Efes or Maccabi Tel Aviv, with the Israelis having the right to “choose” an opponent. If they Fenerbahce on 13.4. hit, play against Real. If they lose, they play Armani Milano.

“Madrid collapsed“The AS title after losing to Bayern means they know that even if Real qualify for the Final Four, they have to fight Barcelona in the semi-finals, who seem to be in better shape.

“We are a team without a soul, without a heart and I cannot understand this situation. I want to give a clear answer, but it’s not easy. In the fourth period we stopped believing. We are not consistent, we have no soul in the last few minutes. I wonder am I the first to see what went wrong tonight, we are a team and suddenly stop“, were the words of Pablo Lasso after the game against Bayern. And unfortunately, Real aren’t entitled to a transfer while he has to play against Barcelona at the Palau Blaugrana on Sunday afternoon.
