Amazing game in Munich with Bayern to surprise and bend her Real Madrid at “BMW Park”!
After the shock defeat of Barcelonaand the “Queen” suffered a gela in the Euroleague premiere, losing in detail to the formidable Bavarians.
Having a dream fourth quarter (33-16 the individual score) Mrand having him in a dreamy night Napier (25 points, 8/13 shots), Gordon Herbert’s team beat the Spaniards with a score of 97-89, showing that this year it is capable of doing damage.
Besides Napier, he was also excellent Feigdman with 19 points and 10 rebounds, with Edwards and Booker to add 14 and 11 points respectively.
For the whole of Chus Mateo, which for the first time in a very long time counts three consecutive defeats (!) – from Malaga in the Super Cup and Leima Coruña in the league the other two defeats – stood out the Campacho and Muse with 19 and 18 points respectively.
The match:
The pace of the match at the beginning of the match was stormy, with both teams entering the match very energetically with a clear offensive approach and high accuracy rates. In the first three minutes, both teams traded blows until a quick 8-0 run by Bayern with two 3-pointers by Obst for 14-7 at 4′. Moussa and Ibaka came forward for Real and scoring 7 points each, they reduced to 25-23 at 9′. Yes, an indirect three-pointer by Deck, but also the improbable buzzer beater 3-pointer by Rattan-Mays in “dead time” from the center (!), they allowed the Spaniards to overtake and close the quarter ahead with 26-29!

The offensive crescendo of the two teams continued in the second period, where the Bavarians came in very strong and with Napier and Edwards, they regained the lead (39-31 at 13′). In fact, the hosts, taking advantage of their high accuracy rates behind 6.75m, managed to increase the difference for the first time to double digit value (49-38) at 16′, before Deke and Campacho grabbed the lead for Real, sending both teams to the dressing room with a score of 52-51.

In third period came Real’s “breakout”, with Chus Mateo’s team skyrocketing its performance in defensethus keeping Bayern’s score low. With him Eddie Tavares to lead and dominate in defense and attack, the “merenches” gradually managed to get the upper hand in the score and even reach +10 (59-69), closing the quarter ahead 73-64.

And while everything showed that Real had put the… water in the groove and that they had brought the match to their own devices, Bayern Munich not only did not give up, but on the contrary, responded in an improbable way in the fourth period. In particular, Gordon Herbert’s players “chewed” irons in defense and attack, reaching the improbable partial score 24-4 in 36′! Thanks to the three-point… storm of Edwards, Feigdmann and Napier, the Bavarians managed to lead by 88-77. In the last three minutes of the match, the “Queen” made a huge effort to get back into the match, with Campacho and Moussa reducing the score to one point (90-89). However, Bayern proved their cool in the finale when the match went to… shootout roulette, picking up a huge pink scorecard with final 97-89.
The quarters: 26-29, 52-51, 64-73, 97-89.
