• Coronavirus: Real Madrid players shield themselves upon arrival in Milan

How could it be otherwise, it was a strange night in Milan. A soulless duel, which cost to carry out much more of the account to Real Madrid. The coronavirus left the Mediolanum Forum empty and in that strangeness of canvases in the stands and squeak of slippers, Pablo Laso's did not find the scorching rhythm of the last days. Finally, Armani's own negative inertia collided with the endless desire to never lose Rudy Fernandez and with a Tavares for which no one finds an antidote. It was the sixth triumph of white's run in Euroleague.

Before the silence, the rarity of an encounter in which everything was heard, Madrid was affected by casualties. He traveled only with 11 pieces - without Randolph, Llull, Mickey, Deck or Causeur - and rotated with only 10, including there the three minutes of a Salah Mejri that is not adapting at all on his return to the club. The juggling of Laso was seen in the quintet with three large ones.

The Armani took advantage of the initial confusion with an unusual fang. The sport without the heat of the stands is a different show. With his children and the joy that the success gave him, he shook Madrid and put distances (30-13) that he could not have dreamed of in the full fall he is in: he has lost, with that of last night, eight of the last nine in Euroleague. The coldness affected Campazzo and also Carroll, without the usual tino of the last days.

But the whites, with the energy of Rudy and Laprovittola - still finding their way - from the bench, were plugged into a brave arreón, with a 0-17 of pure self-esteem. Although in the first rest of Tavares, which was undoubtedly the only problem that Ettore Messina was not able to solve, he lost his way back to the game.

So the night wandered in Milan, in which neither Sergio Rodríguez shone. Madrid missed Campazzo, who made the third foul just back from changing rooms. And he couldn't get back into battle, as if loneliness affected him at his own vital pace. Again as in the second quarter, he had to return for a whip of rage, also commanded by Rudy Fernandez, enviable his delivery and his energy, three triples as daggers in the finish line.

The final act was a white storm. Now, Garuba, who had had problems at the beginning, became strong in the area. And Madrid, with its two usual struts on the bench, without the immense Campazzo and Tavares, flew into the Mediolanum, delving into the doubts of a aimless Milan. It was another hurtful partial (0-15), of which they indicate that a team is not fine. With Rudy putting Madrid ahead for the first time all night.

In the absence of four minutes and already with inertia of victory, Laso injected the duel to his mortal duo, the one that has dominated any rival that comes before him, whether in ACB, in the Cup or in Euroleague. Campazzo, missing all the above, took the reins. And Tavares influenced the key actions. Even in the last one, in which Micov had a pitch to take the game to extra time, he found his infinite hands. And before that fast giant, everything gets dark.
