Football players Vinicius and Eduardo Camavinga were in the fans at the WiZink Center in the Spanish capital as the Argentinean Madrid squad easily thrashed the Serbians, 95-72.

With 13 points, 6 assists, and 3 rebounds in 20 minutes for his former club, Facu finished as the second-highest scorer for the white team in terms of the national team’s performance. The Santiago native scored 10 points and grabbed 5 rebounds for Tortu in his 18 minutes on the court.

This victory will put Chus Mateo’s team in the running for the playoffs, even though there is still more work to be done. Their victory over Belgrade is their third in the tournament; they have already overcome Partizan and Panathinaikos, but they have also fallen short against Bayern and Baskonia.

They will travel to Maccabi Tel Aviv and Olympiacos of Luca Vildoza for the following round after finishing the day in fourth place this Thursday.

At home, though, Bolmaro’s Olimpia Milano lost against Anadolu Efes 96-84. After suffering their third consecutive defeat, the Italians are currently ranked fourth in the league and second to last in the standings, with Alba Berlin (1-4) the only team ahead of them. After starting the game on the bench, the Las Varillas native finished with five points, seven assists, and two rebounds over the course of 26 minutes.

The other parties and the Argentines

In addition to Madrid vs. Milan, three more games took place on Thursday: Baskonia upset Alba Berlin 80-57 at home, Paris shocked Monaco 87-80, and the leading team, Zalgiris Kaunas, defeated Maccabi Tel Aviv 78-63 in Lithuania.

As for the other national representatives, Vildoza from Mar del Plata will travel to Bayern Munich with the Greek team on Friday at 15:45. The second Argentinean is Nicolás Laprovittola, who made headlines a few days ago due to a damaged ligament and will be missed by men.
