He Real Madrid closed last week higher. After adding the third defeat of the season by falling by 83-78 in it Palau Blaugrana before him Barça, The white team recovered from the setback in the classic and added two victories to confirm the good trajectory they have in this season: 130-126 in the epic victory against Anadolu Efes achieved in the fourth extension, and the overwhelming victory in Buesa against Baskonia by 85-99, that left the Vitorians out of the next Copa del Rey.
One of the great architects of Real Madrid’s success this season is Call me Musa. The club’s commitment to the Bosnian foreign country two summers ago could not have had a better result: after standing out in Lugo leading a Brogán which achieved a historic qualification for the 2022 Granada Cup, Musa has reciprocated the trust of Chus Mateo, and the jump to the European elite, at the hands of the whites, has not entailed excessive difficulties for a player who, at his 24 years old, he is already one of the best exteriors on the continent.
Some crazy performances
The numbers achieved last week, in the three games played, are craziness: Despite the defeat in the Palau, the Bosnian went to the 19 points, with five converted triples. A performance that he practically duplicated in the last continental match against Anadolu Efes, where he went to the 40 points, in a game that was resolved in the fourth overtime, but in which Musa was very inspired in his two-point shot: 13 hits in 15 attempts to which he added a couple more triples scored and eight free throws made.

His numbers this campaign
Along with his two great performances in the Euroleague, Musa completed the week shining at the Buesa Arena against Baskonia, adding 20 points, Yes, something more unfortunate from the outside line: three shots converted in nine attempts. Total, The white ’31’ has added 79 points and 94 rating credits in the three games, being the team’s top scorer in the two European duels, and only surpassed in the ACB duel by Guerschon Yabusele, author of 26 points. These great performances have served to inflate statistics that make Musa add 13.3 points per game on average in the Euroleague and 13.8 in the Endesa League, and confirm that it is an asset for the present, and also for the future. A fact, the latter, that becomes a ‘worry’ in the offices of the white club.
All renovations to be undertaken
And this coming summer, Real Madrid must face the renewal of its half-staff. Along with the Bosnian, Mario Hezonja, Vincent Poirier, Eli N’Diaye, Fabien Causeur, Sergio Rodríguez, Sergio Llull, Rudy Fernández and Edy Tavares They finalize the contract, together with the technician Chus Mateo. The renewal of the Cape Verdean seemed capital at the beginning of the campaign, and it still is, despite the fact that the positions are not close and with the first half of the season already played, those ‘inputs’ that take the operation for granted still do not appear.
Tavares, main renovation?
Tavares’ high economic pretensions will be joined by, legitimately, those that can demand one’s own Musa about Mario Hezonja. The ex-Azulgrana is currently the whites’ top scorer in Europe (13.4 ppg) and there will be no shortage of suitors in the next market, with the desire to Panathinaikos for a possible return as one of the main threats in its renewal. And the great season of Poirier, playing his best basketball since he shone in Baskonia before making the leap to the NBA, and at 30 years old, he aspires to sign his last big contract.

The future of the old guard
With the veterans, It is difficult to imagine a total disbandment in the same market, but it remains to be seen how many remain in the project next year, and after winning the last edition of the Euroleague, it is logical to think that Chus Mateo’s cache has gone up compared to the one he signed when he went from being Pablo Laso’s second to taking over the reins of the team.
A future dynasty that aims to secure the block
In short, it is clear that Madrid is bringing shine to a squad loaded with resources and quality. There is a group of 5-6 players who can easily go above 20 points in any game. The white team is enjoying this campaign, but he knows that he will have to meet practically all the economic demands of a group that is called to mark a dynasty in the coming years.
