Theis and Monaco: Sensational Euroleague final ends with defeat!
Abu Dhabi, VAE - On May 25, 2025, the eagerly awaited final between AS Monaco and Fenerbahce Istanbul took place as part of the Euroleague final Four in Abu Dhabi. Despite a solid individual performance of 12 points and 8 rebounds, Daniel Theis, who strengthened the Starting Five from Monaco, could not prevent the defeat of his team. The final result was 70:81, although Monaco was just 33:35 back at halftime.
fenerbahce, led by Nigel Hayes-Davis, who contributed 22 points to the highest score, turned out to be the stronger team. Monaco initially had the upper hand, especially due to the precise litter of Mike James. But in the last quarter Monaco stumbled, which gave Fenerbahce the opportunity to pull away to 62:51.
a disappointing title dream
Tibor Pleiß had previously lost to Fenerbahce with Panathinaikos Athens in the semi -finals. Theis will now travel to the upcoming Eurobasket without an international title, which takes place from August 27 to September 14th.
A look at the German basketball scene
The German clubs cut off disappointed in the Euroleague final Four this season. While As Monaco found its way to the final, other top teams such as FC Bayern failed in the Play-in tournament and Alba Berlin became the last round. These teams are now obliged to tackle new challenges in the Champions League.
The German basketball scene, however, remains attentive to the upcoming megastars. Isaiah Hartenstein, who is in the NBA Conference Finals with the Oklahoma City Thunder, could possibly travel to the Eurobasket, which has so far been unclear. The view of upcoming challenges is exciting for both players and fans. With prominent names such as Dennis Schröder and Franz Wagner, who have already left the NBA competition, the focus is now on the international stage.
In summary, it can be said that the Euroleague final not only came to Monaco, but also for the entire German basketball community. While Fenerbahce celebrated his second title after 2017, Monaco was denied the title. Fans and observers will be excited about how the situation will develop in the coming months.More details on static comparisons in the Euroleague can be found on basketball reference .
