Barcelona defeats Panathinaikos 76-74 in Euroleague thriller

In the 11th round of the Euroleague on November 13, 2026, Panathinaikos suffered a 74-76 defeat against Barcelona at the Telekom Center in Athens. Despite leading by as many as 14 points (57-43) entering the final quarter, the Greek team collapsed defensively and offensively, allowing Barcelona to outscore them 9-25 in the last ten minutes. A stellar shooting performance by Robinson, including crucial three-pointers, proved decisive in securing the comeback victory for the visitors.

Panathinaikos had entered the match at the top of the standings following recent wins against Real Madrid and AEK, holding an 8-2 record. Following this loss, the team's record fell to 8-3, placing them in a multi-way tie for first place alongside Olympiacos, Barcelona, and Valencia. Head coach Zeljko Obradovic had previously emphasized the importance of controlling transition play and offensive rebounds, but defensive errors ultimately proved costly.

Looking ahead, Panathinaikos now pivots to domestic duties with a Stoiximan GBL game against Kolossos Rodou on November 15. The team faces a challenging upcoming week in the Euroleague, featuring back-to-back road games against Virtus Bologna on November 17 and Zalgiris Kaunas on November 19.
