Real Madrid basketball has started the season in a disappointing way, especially in European competition. The whites have made a comeback in the league with three consecutive victories and are second behind Unicaja with four wins and two losses, the same records as Barça. However, the situation in the Euroleague is very different, since Chus Mateo’s team are thirteenth, which for the moment places them out of the finals.
After yesterday’s defeat at home against Armani Milan, Real Madrid is confirmed as the worst visiting team in the Euroleague, with an alarming record of five defeats in five games. This data is very different from the numbers at the Wizink Center, where the whites have won the three European games played.

In domestic competition, there is also a change between playing at home or away, since Chus Mateo’s team has won three out of three in their fiefdom, but one victory and two defeats in overseas trips.
Real Madrid has suffered the recurring losses of Usman Garuba and Andrés Feliz during the course, although the reasons for the whites’ bad moment are deeper. Chus Mateo’s men have not been able to recover from the withdrawal of two heavyweights from the locker room such as Rudy Fernández and Sergio “El Chacho” Rodríguez. In the same way, the whites have not been able to make up for the loss of a great secondary player like Fabien Causeur, as well as the departure of Guerschon Yabusele, who returned to the NBA with the Sixers.
The Real Madrid squad falls short, with Tavares who plays practically everything and Sergio Llull who does not add in defense. For his part, Facundo Campazzo has been irregular in this campaign. In addition, a changeable Gaby Deck and a controversial Mario Hezonja are not managing to carry out the games with their scoring.
