Real Madrid-Barça: a must-win matchup
The Whites have with no margin for error as they head to the WiZink Center for the third game of the series (9pm; CET).
Real Madrid will have to pull off another unprecedented feat if they are to become league champions, much like they did in the EuroLeague playoff against Partizan. No team has ever overturned a 2-0 deficit in a best-of-five final in the ACB. However, if there is a team that can do it, it is Real Madrid, a team that knows no limits. The series now moves to Madrid for the third game and Chus Mateo's boys will be hoping to secure victory and force a fourth game with the support of their fans.
Tonight the Whites will be looking to take the first step towards a fightback at the WiZink Center. When confronted with challenging situations, the team has proved that it can thrive and this will be another stern test. Madrid certainly have reason to believe that they can turn the tie on its head, as they could have won the two games in Barcelona. When they have dominated the rebounding and performed strongly in defence, they have produced their best minutes.

When they have dominated the rebounding and performed strongly in defence, they have produced their best minutes.
But there are also things to fix, such as the turnovers and attempting to lower the opposition's three-point shooting percentages. Madrid will need to be at their best and require all their players to produce the goods to turn the final around.
The first step towards another feat
The madridistas must win all three remaining matches if they are to clinch the league title, which would be an unprecedented feat. In the 16 seasons, no side has come back from 2-0 down in the league final series. But the forecasts are there to be broken and Madrid's chances multiply given the club’s achievements in the face of adversity.
