Chus Mateo's team beat Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul (18-13) at home 90-75, collecting its 22nd win of the season, which guaranteed at least the 4th seed in the regular season.

The 5th-seeded Fenerbahce now trail by four wins with three games left, and Real Madrid, alongside Olympiacos, became uncatchable for the Turkish powerhouse.

With a win in Madrid, Fenerbahce could have clinched the EuroLeague's playoffs berth.

However, after Wednesday's loss, Fenerbahce's next opportunity will be on Friday when they will face Baskonia (16-15), which remain in a fight for a place in the Top 8.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid continue their fight for a no. 1 seed. However, if Real and Olympiacos finish with the same number of victories, the Greek powerhouse will have the upper hand since Olympiacos won both games of their head-to-head matchup.

Real Madrid will finish the regular season with games against Partizan, Bayern, and Maccabi.
