• Chronicle: Barça grabs Madrid in the classic league

Nikola Mirotic has little to shine above the rest. And before Real Madrid he proved it again. The Montenegrin Hispanic, terribly motivated against his former team, did not have one of his most lucid performances, but that did not prevent him from scoring 20 points and achieving a 14 valuation. A section that would match Malcolm Delaney , who added 14 points and was key in the devastating start of Barcelona. Yes, Adam Hanga beat him, with 18 points and 10 points in the bag.

Mirotic was far from his best afternoon in terms of the percentage of field shots converted, with six hits of 16 attempts, but he made up for it with his near infallibility from the free throw line. If the pivot wing had been as successful as usual, its final score would have been scandalous. When he finally left the bench he was cheered by a Palau who idolized . Barça fans know very well that much of their options to close a season plagued by titles, no doubt, go through their hands.

The Montenegrin Hispanic, of course, appeared again and again in the most opportune moments to avoid that Pablo Laso's team could even dream of the option of turning around a decanted marker in favor of the premises at the end of the duel. Even sitting on the bench, he was very involved in the game, haranguing his teammates and celebrating the success of a team eager to take revenge, both for the losses suffered in the Super Cup and the Euroleague, as well as the unfortunate arenga of the Madrid doctor, Miguel Ángel López , who described the azulgrana as "the biggest rats in the Euroleague". And in a scenario, yes, that neither was much less friendly neither to the Real Madrid players in general nor to Rudy Fernández , who focused all the wrath of the stands in the final stretch of the game.

When in Movistar Plus, as soon as he finished, he was questioned about whether it was special to defeat his former team, Niko replied with a half smile: "I would lie to you if I said no."
