This is how the Endesa League classification looks after the victories of Barça and Madrid
The seventh day of the Endesa League 2024-25 has left a vibrant panorama on the table. Real Madrid continues to be intractable and consolidates its leadership alone with an impeccable record (7-0), while behind it a spectacular traffic jam has formed of five teams tied with 5 wins and 2 losses. Below, the fight for permanence rages with three teams tied in the pot.
1. The leader does not let up: Real Madrid rules with an iron fist
The white team once again showed their strength, clearly beating UCAM Murcia (90-71) at the WiZink Center. With this victory, Chus Mateo’s men remain the only undefeated team in the competition (7-0), already opening a gap of two victories with respect to their immediate pursuers and exhibiting the best offensive/defensive balance in the league (+147 in the general differential).2.
Train jam in the chase (5-2)
The excitement is fully concentrated between second and sixth place, where five candidates share a record of 5 wins and 2 losses:
Valencia Basket (2nd): They pulled from strength and outside punch to come back at home against a combative San Pablo Burgos (93-100).
Baskonia (3rd): Did their homework by storming the Barris Nord against Lleida in a heart-stopping finale (93-98).
La Laguna Tenerife (4th): He made use of the court factor and his craft in the final minutes to defeat Joventut (80-74).
Casademont Zaragoza (5th): He remains unleashed, signing the second best league start in his history after knocking down Unicaja (96-91) in a dedicated Príncipe Felipe.
Barça (6th): They carried out a high-scoring and extremely demanding duel against Río Breogán (99-91).3.
The middle zone and the alarm in Badalona and Málaga
In the battle to enter the Playoff (and the future Copa del Rey):
Breogán (7th), Bilbao Basket (8th) and Bàsquet Girona (9th) mark the limit of the noble positions with a positive balance of 4-3.
The big loser of the week is Unicaja (10th, 3-4), which is experiencing a slump that momentarily leaves it out of the privileged positions, equal with UCAM Murcia, Obradoiro and Leyma Coruña. The Galicians took a breath after beating MoraBanc Andorra in a vibrant scoring duel (103-100).
Much more worrying is the situation of Joventut (14th, 2-5) and San Pablo Burgos (15th, 2-5), who have accumulated defeats and see how the danger zone is getting dangerously close.4.
Hell for salvation: triple tie in relegation
The lower part of the classification is red hot after the weekend’s results. MoraBanc Andorra (16th), Força Lleida (17th) and BAXI Manresa (18th) share an identical balance of 1 win and 6 losses. The people from Ilerdens and the people from Manresa would now occupy the two relegation places to Primera FEB, although the distance from permanence remains at just one win.
