Real Madrid beat FC Barcelona 95-76 in the ACB League Clásico on March 22, 2026, at Palau Blaugrana. Sergio Scariolo's team showcased its current superiority, particularly in a lethal second quarter with a 0-10 run and triples that led to a 33-51 halftime score in their favor. By the end of the third quarter, it was 53-71, ending 76-95 for Madrid, who managed efforts without matching Barça's 23-point league home loss record from 1968 in the same venue. Walter Tavares celebrated his 34th birthday tipping off the first ball, while players like Mario Hezonja, Facundo Campazzo, and Gabriele Procida shone for Madrid with rebounds, assists, and threes. For Xavi Pascual's Barça, Jan Vesely and James Clyburn provided initial resistance, but the team lacked offensive precision and perimeter defense. Pascual gave minutes to 16-year-old Serbian Nikola Kusturica to refresh a depleted bench due to absences like Laprovittola. The first quarter ended 18-15 in a tactical, low-scoring game. This win avenges Madrid's January home loss to Barça 100-105.
