A 4-0 lead in five games for Poeta's team, dominated 98-89 at the Forum. Tomorrow, the armored tank Dubai arrives.
Olimpia Milano suffered a heavy home defeat against Real Madrid on the fifth matchday of the EuroLeague, losing 89-98. The game, played at the Forum in Assago, was decided in the two central periods when the Madrid side scored 63 points against the Milanese team's 15, building a lead of up to +20. Despite 21 points from Bolmaro and 14 from Mathews, Armani delivered a dull and passionless performance.
This marks the fourth defeat in five games for coach Poeta's team, which remains firmly at the bottom of the standings. The match was watched from the sidelines by two Milan footballers, Luka Modrić and Pervis Estupiñán. There is no time to catch a breath for the Milan team: tomorrow, the Dubai powerhouse arrives at the Forum for their next European engagement.
The EuroLeague is the premier European club basketball competition, bringing together the best teams on the continent. Olimpia Milano is one of the historic clubs in Italian basketball, but in the 2026-2027 season, it has embarked on a new phase: the roster has been built without any more big stars, with the goal of creating a project based more on character than on famous names.
This strategic choice arose from the need to renew the team after periods of success and significant investments. The problem, as seen in the match against Real Madrid, is that the team is not showing that 'hunger' and determination that were meant to be the defining traits of this new direction. The situation is particularly concerning because this marks the fourth loss in five games, with the team unable to compete at a high level despite the lowering of initial expectations.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, is one of the powerhouses of European basketball, with an extremely rich trophy cabinet. The presence of Luka Modrić, a former Real Madrid football player, added an element of curiosity to the evening, but it did not change the outcome of a match that highlighted the gap between the two teams.
