Euroleague (and barbarism: the ACB)

Today in La Santiaguina we talk about the Superliga as a concept, and here I will provide just a quick little history of what happened in basketball. Only the fundamental thing, that the details are on many pages that can be visited.

The first thing is to remember that the Euroleague was not achieved all at once. In other words, if Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus (it is difficult to think that they were left alone) were to push forward in football, Ceferin would surely have problems. In basketball things were divided at the beginning (Panathinaikos, Maccabi, CSKA or EFES had no value) but they ended up surrendering to the evidence that the future lay in the new competition.

We are Real Madrid, we are the European Cup. We have to be respected.

And I say this to remember that, in February 2019, Real Madrid got fed up with the ACB. There had to be a big robbery to hit the table. Let's remember it. https://twitter.com/RMBaloncesto/status/1097464495751000064

Do you remember who spoke those days? Tebas. Tebas the imprudent came out to say that Madrid was a victimizer and "if they want to leave, let them say so publicly. Maybe RM has to be more direct and explain why they want to leave the ACB and why they also want to leave the Spanish league".

From the outset, Madrid followed the pulse and said that the subsequent statement from the ACB was unfortunate, given the seriousness of what happened.

May 2022: We are still in ACB, let's see how we get on returning to Barcelona, ​​​​which still has the last live magic when we compete there, in the Palau.

I write all of this to leave a final reflection: in these things, also, "Till The End... Let's go Real".

If things have to be done, we will do, but RM cannot stay halfway through because then they lose all respect for us.

Would there be ACB without Madrid? Certainly not. This phrase can disturb several cities in Spain with a basketball tradition. Of course there could be a national basketball league, but having good following, an audience, money and good players would be another story. No bluffs, you have to fight well. < p style="text-align: justify;">And sport in Europe, especially the national leagues, have to rethink their future. Or the future will go the other way. And on that side will be, without a doubt, Real Madrid.
