Basketball has the image of one of the “cleanest” sports disciplines when it comes to physical contact. The second confrontation between Real Madrid and Partizan, in the quarterfinals of the Euroleague, wanted, as it were, to prove the opposite, with a fight like in the movies.
A general fight put an end, prematurely, to the match Real Madrid – Partizan in the quarterfinals of the basketball Euroleague. “Criminal attack, worthy of imprisonment”
The tension was at its maximum in the second match of the Euroleague basketball quarterfinals between Real Madrid and Partizan Belgrade. Because the Serbians prevailed in the first match of the series of five confrontations for the qualification in the aces box with 87-86. With a decisive basket scored in the last seconds.
The outcome of that game, but also the prospect of going to Belgrade with a deficit of 0-2 overall, led the Madrid players to approach the second game with maximum determination. But to no effect.
The guest band, led from the bench by the legendary Zeljko Obradovic, also had the initiative. And at halftime he had a 14-point advantage, 51-37. And he managed to stay ahead until the final sequences.
One in which the spirits heated up. With 1:40 before the end of the game, Partizan had 15 more points, 95-80, and the hosts’ frustration led to a “Seven Sins” fight.
It all started with an attack by the hosts’ veteran, Llul, on Punter. With a procedure found rather in karate and which was categorized as “criminal” and “worthy of prison”.

The American rushed to his opponent to demand an account, and this conflict would lead to a general fight. One in which the reserve players were also involved.
There was no lack of punches or judo maneuvers. And in which the Australian Exum, the best scorer of the guests, chose with a sprain that could cost him the presence on the field for the rest of the season.

When the spirits calmed down, the referees decided to eliminate almost all the players, with the exception of LeDay, from the guests, respectively Poirier and, finally, Llul, the one who was at the origin of the conflict. And, according to the rules, because there were no more two basketball players on each side, the match was stopped, and Partizan got the victory.
Euroleague sanctions are expected today
Euroleague officials reacted promptly. In an official statement, it was announced that the Disciplinary Commission had been convened, and it will urgently analyze the incidents. The decision is to be made public by the end of the day.
On the other hand, how to prevent incidents in the next two games will also be discussed. Because Partizan fans, some of the most fanatical in the Euroleague, have already announced that they want revenge.
And, obviously, under these conditions, there is a risk that things will degenerate even if on the field everything will take place in a fair-play manner. Especially if Partizan, which is an outsider, will not repeat the positive results in Spain.
