Referees propelled Bayern past F.C. Barcelona
Referees propelled Bayern past Barcelona
Yesterday at 63-51 late in the 4th quarter, F.C. Barcelona seemed to control perfectly the game on the court of Bayern. But exactly at that moment has started the nightmare for the Blaugrana team. What happened it’s a unique combination between a couple of factors: some lucky shots of the host team, a brutal defensive of Bayern allowed by the referees who cut any offensive possibilities for F.C. Barcelona, mistakes in offense and defense made by the visitors etc.
The result was a 14-0 run of Bayern Munich who bounced back for 65-63. Even so, Barcelona regains the lead for 67-65 and then the referees helped again the host team giving an imaginary offensive foul on Kevin Pangos. This was a key moment of the game, which took the ball from Barcelona hands to give another opportunity for Bayern.
If you look at the stats of the game, you will see that this low-cost German team helped by the referees has 63 attacks and 19 free-throws meanwhile Barcelona had just 57 attacks and 16 free-throws. This happened when you sent ex-Yugoslavian referees to help Bayern a team full of ex-Yugoslavian players and coach. Well done! Keep the hope alive for the playoff, Bayern! With these referees, you can win the Euroleague!
