Maccabi Tel Aviv suffered a narrow 90-87 defeat to Barcelona in a dramatic EuroLeague contest on Tuesday, marking a difficult start to their "Spanish week" in the European competition. The team had entered the game at Palau Blaugrana with momentum, having secured their first win of the season in the previous round, and hoped to build on that success against the strong Barcelona squad. Despite a strong first half, where Maccabi hit nine three-pointers and received solid contributions from players like Bonzie Colson and Oshea Brissett, Barcelona managed to pull ahead in the second half. However, a surge led by Yam Madar, who scored 10 consecutive points and finished with a personal EuroLeague best of 22 points, helped Maccabi regain the lead. Barcelona ultimately responded with a series of three-pointers, and despite Maccabi managing to tie the game, a last-second winning shot by the Spanish hosts sealed the victory. This loss marks Maccabi's ninth consecutive defeat against Barcelona. The team now holds a 1-4 record in the EuroLeague this season and faces another tough challenge in two days against Valencia, another strong Spanish team and a surprise performer in the league.
