FC BARCELONA WINS ACB LIGA TITLE | SPANISH BASKETBALL

FC Barcelona won tonight the Spanish Basketball League (ACB) after defeating 83-81 Real Madrid & taking the "Best of 5 games" Final with a final 3 - 1 aggregate. Rough & tough game with controversial referee decision along with Real Madrid Coach Pablo Laso being expelled from the game. Very tension as Real Madrid needed to win to stay alive.

FC Barcelona player & Captain Juan Carlos Navarro was named MVP of the Finals, while tonight Barça player Tomic was outstanding with 22 points.

Real Madrid will be very disappointed as they finished the regular season on top of the ACB ladder. But the team went from more to less in the latter part of the season. Real Madrid felt their loss in the Euro-league final & has not did recovered since from the blow. 

Congratulations to Barça for winning the ACB Basketball League Title.

SFS FLASHBACKS | SPANISH BASKETBALL | DRAZEN PETROVIC

Found this priceless video on "youtube" (thanks to "CroPETROforever") of when REAL MADRID ruled SPANISH BASKETBALL. That reign ( the 80s) was made even more glorious thanks to Croatian DRAZEN PETROVIC who was the finest European Basketball Player that I have ever seen in Spanish or European Basketball

The player left Real Madrid for the NBA (USA), being a poineer to open the way for other Europeans, starting a Portland & becoming a major star with the New Jersey Nets. The player tragically died in a car accident in Germany at the age of 28 leaving World Basketball orphan of a major talent that comes once every 20 years.


Here is Drazen Petrovic playing for Real Madrid against FC Barcelona in 1989 where he scored 42 points all by himself. This video is worth watching even if you don´t follow the game, as the man shows all his skills, his complete repertoire & all his "god given" talent. Just amazing & a fabolous Basketball player.

ACB SPANISH BASKETBALL | REGAL BARCELONA 95 - REAL MADRID 75

Big night of ACB SPANISH BASKETBALL action with REAL MADRID travelling to BARCELONA for the big Spanish Basketball Derby. Real Madrid went into this game as ACB Table leader & full of confidence to attempt to win in a traditional doom stadium & thus find revenge for past defeats.

The end result was a FC (REGAL) BARCELONA demolition job with a 95 - 75 win over Real Madrid that puts Barça sharing Top spot on the ACB ladder with their arch rivals & once again gives the Madrid team a good old whipping that will leave a "scar".

Navarro shots over Real Madrid player

This 20 point defeat may have a psychological effect over Real Madrid who are clear way below the level needed to match Regal Barcelona. Juan Carlos Navarro played a cracker for Barça along with Lakovic, while the name to note from Real Madrid was Fischer.

Seems 2010 will go down as a bad year for Real Madrid when it comes to head to head clashes in different Sporting events with Barça. We all remember the 5- 0 Barça win in Football, yesterdays Barça´s 1-2 Final win in the XV International Football U-12 title & tonight in Basketball. Will 2011 be the same story?

Here are some brief details of the match with individual scores & the partials:

95 - REGAL BARCELONA (28+21+25+21):Rubio (2), Navarro (14), Grimau (13), Lorbek (13), Perovic (8) -starting team-, Sada (6), Lakovic (17), Vázquez (8), Inglés (-), Anderson (-), Morris (12) & Ndong (2).


75 - REAL MADRID (15+19+21+20):Prigioni (-), Llull (10), Suárez (3), Reyes (11), Fischer (11) -starting team-, Tomic (8), Velickovic (6), Garbajosa (-), Tucker (13), Rodríguez (13) & Mirotic (-). Tweet
