Efes Leaves 12-2 and the Fenerbahçe 13-2.

Zenith (1 of difference), TD Systems Baskonia (1.5 of difference), Valencia Basket (2.5 of difference) and Zalgiris (3 of difference) are the rivals that pursue to the directed by Pablo Laso in the table, with the particular advantage that have Valencia and Baskonia, near to the Real Madrid and having in favour so much the calendar like the tiebreaker, since the whites did not attain to win any duel against Spanish teams this campaign.

The situation in the Barcelona is almost on the contrary, since they live a big moment and do not seem to go down the course, by what remain in the first places is an almost mathematical possibility for the culés, possible rivals of the Madrid in case to classify the team of Laso.
