Real Madrid Basketball fell to a 92-85 defeat against Olympiacos in the EuroLeague final held at the Panathinaikos Arena in Athens, Greece, in front of a crowd heavily weighted toward the Greek side.
The Spanish powerhouse entered the game without three of its core big men — Edy Tavares, Alex Len and Usman Garuba — all sidelined by injury, forcing the team to rely on a thinner frontcourt.
Despite the setback, standout performances emerged from guard Mario Hezonja, who contributed 19 points, four rebounds and five assists, and forward Trey Lyles, who tallied 24 points and eight rebounds.
Controversial Calls in the Closing Seconds
In the final minute, a series of contentious referee decisions swung momentum toward Olympiacos, culminating in a missed three‑point attempt by Madrid guard Andrés Feliz that could have tied the game with just 11 seconds remaining.
The narrow margin proved decisive as Olympiacos secured its fourth EuroLeague championship, while Real Madrid, now with 11 titles, remains the competition’s all‑time leader.
