Hapoel Tel Aviv achieved a perfect double week in the EuroLeague, culminating in a thrilling 102-98 victory over Real Madrid on Thursday. This followed their tight win against Crvena Zvezda earlier in the week. The Israeli team, coached by Dimitris Itoudis, overcame a significant deficit, losing a 22-point lead before ultimately securing the win in the final quarter.
Spanish sports media reacted to the game with disappointment for Real Madrid and praise for Hapoel. Marca noted that Real Madrid managed the difficult task of coming back from a 22-point deficit but ultimately succumbed to Hapoel Tel Aviv. The publication highlighted Elijah Bryant's exceptional performance and stated that Hapoel was "unstoppable."
AS echoed these sentiments, focusing on the manner of Real Madrid's defeat. They described Real's first half as "shocking" but acknowledged their comeback in the second half.

AS concluded that Hapoel had proven itself to be among the elite clubs in the league.
