Round 7 of the EuroLeague returns for the second day on Thursday with 6 matches on the schedule.

First, Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul welcomed Crvena Zvezda mts Belgrade where two clubs of opposite ends of the standings met. Although the guests battled throughout the most of the match, the Turkish team comfortably came out on top.

Next, a showdown of the powerhouses happened as Real Madrid clashed against Anadolu Efes Istanbul. The Spanish squad's team effort handed Ergin Ataman's roster its fifth loss of the season.

After two losses in a row, Olympiacos Piraeus faced Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade, who only brought 9 players due to the 2023 FIBA World Cup Qualifiers window. The Greeks had an impressive 28-2 run in the second half to take a convincing win.

ALBA Berlin and FC Bayern Munich battled in a German derby. In a back-and-forth contest, Jaleen Smith had a chance to tie the game at the last second but his difficult floater was no good, and Andrea Trinchieri's team took their second win of the season.

Last but not least, Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv welcomed FC Barcelona in Menora Mivtachim Arena where the Israeli team was previously unbeaten. However, Barca won three of the four quarters to capture a victory away from home.

The last match of the evening features LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne and Zalgiris Kaunas.
