Last year, Crvena zvezda mts defeated CSKA Moscow at home court. It was one of the greatest wins for the Belgrade powerhouse in its history, so the fans hoped that their team can pull off another upset against the Russian giant this Wednesday evening.
However, that did not happen.
This time, Crvena zvezda mts had no chance against CSKA Moscow. The Russians were simply too good in this match, while it is enough to write that the visitors were up by 31 points at one moment.
At the end, Crvena zvezda mts suffered a home defeat against the first placed team on the 2017/18 EuroLeague standings, so the red & whites now have the overall score of 2-7.
