Real Madrid defeated Fenerbahçe Tarfin 95-76 in Week 9 of EuroLeague, hosting them at home. With this win, the home side moved its record up to 6-3. Fenerbahçe Tarfin, after losing both of its matches in Spain, remained at the same 6-3 record.

Speaking after the game, Real Madrid coach Pedro Martinez admitted that his team did not start the first half the way they wanted. Martinez said they had not defended well enough and that Fenerbahçe found room to move comfortably.

Martinez stressed that Fenerbahçe is a very disciplined defensive team that does not give away easy scoring chances. He said that sharing the ball well and finding the three-pointers were decisive in breaking the opponent down.
