A fantastic ACB League campaign… until the final!

Regal Barca went into the ACB league on a high after a series of good results in the pre-season and the mood in the dressing room was definitely upbeat.

Barca’s season started on the 10 September away to Xacobeo Blu. Xavi Pascual’s men stormed to a 63-80 win. From here on they gradually took control of the league until they cemented first place on 13th December, beating Rueda Valladolid 83-50. From this point on they stayed top of the table.

Spectacle and power

Regal Barça combined efficiency with attractive basketball and produced some outstanding performances. There was an historic drubbing of Real Madrid, a Basile exhibition of three-pointers against Meridiano Alacant, a display of attacking prowess in Badalona and the win in the Palau against Unicaja in the 31st round which clinched first place in the regular phase.

A disappointing finale

Next up for the champion of the regular phase were two games against Gran Canaria. They didn’t need any more. The first game ended 85-53 and then Barca confirmed their superiority with a 47-65 win in the Canary Islands. Then came the semi-final against Unicaja. First a fantastic game in the Palau featuring a superb performance from Morris. Second, another Barca win based on a partial score 28-10 in the second quarter followed by a commanding performance in Malaga, in which Basile played an outstanding part. The other semi-final between Caja Laboral and Real Madrid went to five games so Regal Barca enjoyed the luxury of an extra week to prepare at the Muntanyà training camp. Caja Laboral finally made it through to the final where they pulled off a shock 0-3 series victory. It was the only time in the season when Regal Barca failed to produce – a cruel end for a team that aimed to be the basketball version of the Barca of the Five Cups.
