Real Madrid advanced to the Belgrade Final Four after defeating Maccabi Tel Aviv 3-0 in the series. Pablo Laso's team finished off a thrilling quarter-final series against opponents who came into the match in fine form and were unbeaten on the court this year.
Our team put in a strong collective effort to come out on top in a victory that was set up in a first half that yielded 51 points, before the team managed to hold on to the lead in the second period, with five players scoring in double figures, led by Yabusele (16 points and a PIR of 25). Llull (18 and 19), Hanga (10 rebounds), and Poirier were also standouts (14 and 22). With this series win, our team has now qualified for the Final Four in eight of the last 11 years, and this will be our fourth in the last five years.
