The blancos return to Euroleague final after a 86-83 win
Real Madrid survives a hard fought Clasico against Barcelona to return to Euroleague final after 4 years, again in Belgrade. A narrow game was decided in the last 15 seconds weren’t pretty, as Real missed 2 free throws, but Yabusele claimed a critical offensive rebound that helped Los Blancos hold on. Twice Barcelona had the ball down 3 and got two-point baskets – one by Alex Abrines and another from Dante Exum, but it wasn’t enough and Mirotic’s prayer at the buzzer was not close.
Yabusele and Causeur both had 18 points for Real with Llull adding 15. Mirotic’s 26+12 double double wasn’t enough for Barcelona
