Few things motivate Real Madrid more than saying that they cannot do something or that the statistics are against them.. As a closer example, the elimination of quarterfinals of the Euroleague against Partizon, in which it was 0-2 with two games to play in Belgrade. Nobody had raised a situation like this… until they did it this year the whites.
The 1-0 that Barcelona placed in the Endesa League finalaccording to the story, says a lot. On 20 of the 22 occasions in which the fight for the title began like this, the person who prevailed in the first game ended up winning. 90.9% of the cases. A slab for most of the teams, but seen what has been seen, a motivation for the madridistas, who have made comebacks a way of life in both basketball and football.
Of the 20 times in which that 1-0 was given, in nine of them (45%) the final was settled with a 3-0, while in seven (35%) the fifth game was reached, resolved in favor of the team that enjoyed the home court factor. On the other four occasions (20%), the title was resolved in the fourth match.
Two exceptions with Madrid as the protagonist
The two exceptions to the victory of whoever makes it 1-0 in the final they occurred in the seasons 15-16 and 16-17 with the madridistas as protagonists for better and for worse. In the first case they came back to win the ACB against Bara with three consecutive victories. And the following year they suffered it at the hands of Valencia Basketwho won the second game at WiZink and those at Fontenta to lift the first league title in its history
