One of the three clubs in Spain, which never in history has left the limits of the country’s top league, won the country’s Super Cup in the current championship, beating Barcelona in the final match. In addition, the team took part in two finals of the national cup, where it was no longer able to achieve success. In the first game, Athletic lost to Real Sociedad (0:1), after which Bilbao again got Barca as rivals and this time the Catalans left no chances for the Basques (0:4). In the La Liga championship, the “red-whites” took a place at the equator of the standings. After 32 rounds of the current championship, the “lions” chalked up 10 wins and 11 draws, which brought 41 points and 10th position in the standings. It is impossible not to note the fifth indicator of the team in terms of the quality of defense in the league. After a series of draws in April with Real Sociedad (1:1), Alaves (0:0) and Betis (0:0) hosts managed to beat Atletico (2:1) last Sunday. In the infirmary of team are Nolascoain, Muniain, Capa, Zarraga, Bershish and Alvarez, who has a muscle injury.
Despite being defeated in the last match by Sacramento (106-113), Dallas managed to maintain the sixth position in the West. True, Rick Carlisle’s wards may well lose their positions, since a whole group of teams can catch up with them. Among them, by the way, are also “Warriors”. It is worth noting the good game of “Mavericks” away. For example, the team from Texas won 7 of their last 10 away matches. In addition to being defeated by Sacramento, the Mavs also lost to New Orleans (103-112) and Houston (93-102).
