Crvena zvezda Meridianbet suffered road defeat against Real Madrid in Round 5 of the 2024/25 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague regular season.
Te red-and-whites had some major injury problems ahead of this game as they could not count on their starting center Joel Bolomboy and their season top scorer Nemanja Nedović. With those two important players outside the roster and with such a powerful opponent on the other side, Zvezda had little chances of taking the win in Madrid.
Real Madrid dominated the court throughout the whole game. The Spanish giant gained a double-digit lead already in the opening quarter, while in the rest of the match the home side had no problems staying in front.
This was the 2nd consecutive defeat for Crvena zvezda Meridianbet in this competition, so now the red-and-whites have the overall score of 3-2 in the 2024/25 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague regular season.
