Bayern Basketball Players Outmatched Against Real Madrid - Bayern Munich crushed 93–70 by Real Madrid in EuroLeague rout

FC Bayern Munich suffered a heavy 93–70 defeat against Real Madrid in the EuroLeague on 26 February 2026. The loss leaves Bayern stuck in 15th place, well below the playoff spots. Meanwhile, Germany's national team prepares to face Croatia in two World Cup qualifiers this weekend.

Real Madrid dominated from the start, leading by 20 points at halftime. Mario Hezonja spearheaded their attack with 20 points in the first half alone. The gap widened further in the second period, peaking at 32 points before the final whistle.

Bayern struggled offensively, missing key players like Andreas Obst, who sat out due to illness. Justinian Jessup was their top scorer with 17 points, but it wasn't enough to close the deficit. The result keeps Madrid in fourth place with 17 wins, while Bayern remains at 12 wins, 10 games shy of the regular season's end.

Off the court, Germany's national team called up Oscar da Silva, Justus Hollatz, and Leon Kratzer. Da Silva played for Bayern in the loss, but Hollatz and Kratzer were absent—one due to illness, the other already with the squad. David Krämer, though unused by Madrid, will join Germany for the qualifiers. Their first clash with Croatia tips off on Friday, followed by a rematch on Sunday.

Bayern's playoff hopes fade as they sit 15th in the EuroLeague standings. The German national team, meanwhile, will rely on a mix of EuroLeague players and returnees for the upcoming qualifiers. Their focus now shifts to securing wins against Croatia in the World Cup campaign.
