Real Madrid 88-97 Bayern (April 8, 2022) - The Stitch

I write fast, pissed off, the game just finished, with Laso speaking in english in the background, annoyed, attending the mandatory interview with DAZN. Arms crossed and a clear message: "We have to understand that games are 40 minutes long"

What happened today in the Euroleague is psychoanalyst. Real Madrid have scored 18 triples. The match, despite the defeat, mark numbers in favor such as 27 assists to 13.

What has happened? A last quarter of not believing, 13-38, a defensive festival and no less festive the choice of shot in attack. It doesn't make sense to analyze the game in its entirety, which until the third quarter was a great game for Real, if the last quarter you sign is an infamous farce.

The pavilion attended stupefied to see how the advantage was reduced and reduced (Llull had put the +19 just before the start of the last period) and Bayern, suddenly, did everything and did everything well. For example, this one made in Radosevic

If the game had lasted three quarters we would have gone to bed with a big smile. Because it was the game of the chuflas, which after so much suffering was a deserved feeling. Chufla goes, chufla comes. And they were in favor: mandarinas, citrus, chofs.

We were on the way to an overwhelming number of 3s (we only made nine of 2, in fact). We were engaged in the fight for second position, the attack was a clinic. 24 points in the first quarter, 28 in the second (17 and 17 against)

A visual delight

Coming back from the break we were already thinking if the gasoline would last us.

But it seemed that this time will be alright. The lead was still comfortable, they were already scoring more (25) but we didn't lose pace (23). Llull got one last mandarina for ourpeace of mind.

What could go wrong?

The last 10 minutes of pain

The final of the game should be analyzed by a professional of disconnection issues, because explaining that we were not plugged in, that we let ourselves go, that we ran out of ideas, that it was a disaster, that the club would have to be refounded... any phrase is hurtful or unnecessary.

What happened doesn't make any sense. They quickly approached to 9. And 7. Laso stopped the match.

With 4 still up we throw a very forced mandarina that of course does not fit. The partial was already 5-19 when we decide to shoot 2, to immediately receive a triple against. 82-84, the comeback was already done.

And, for worse, the feeling was of absolute inability to react. We went into the last minute at 84-89 and the first thing we did was to lose the ball. Free.

We had time in that minute to receive another 8 points against, in case the derision was not enough.

Laso is a winner, he will be more irritated than anyone. But it makes one wonder if today's game is not a dismissal (if it wasn't Laso, and seeing how things have evolved, it should be considered) it could be a day of resignation. He will not do it, he does not seem like that kind of man, but the ineffectiveness, passivity, inaction and helplessness already exceeds all imaginable red alerts
