Real Madrid suffered a critical defeat in the EuroLeague, losing its lead, while the city of Madrid is gearing up for a packed April of high-level sports events, including the Mutua Madrid Open and decisive football clashes.

The Real Madrid basketball team let a crucial victory slip away against Kosner Baskonia, falling 98-96 in Vitoria. A 10-1 run in the final two minutes of the game was decisive, preventing the whites from securing the lead in the EuroLeague Regular Season with only three games remaining.
Despite this setback, the Spanish capital is preparing for a vibrant April in the sports arena. The Mutua Madrid Open 2026, scheduled from April 20 to May 3 at the Caja Mágica, will bring together the world's top tennis players. Additionally, Real Madrid will face Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals on April 7 at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium.
The football agenda also includes the clash between Atlético de Madrid and FC Barcelona on April 14 at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano Stadium, a key match for advancing to the semifinals. In LaLiga EA Sports, Real Madrid will visit Son Moix today to play against Mallorca at 4:15 PM, aiming to consolidate their position.
In other disciplines, cyclist Pogacar has indicated that Evenepoel's presence could be an additional stress factor in the De Ronde race. In combat sports, Salah Eddine from Climent Club will seek to defend his PFL Mena title on May 8. Enzo Fernández's future at Chelsea remains uncertain following statements from his agent, while Paul Pogba could reappear with Monaco this weekend.
Finally, Antoine Griezmann has been recognized as 'Five-Star Player' for March by the rojiblanca fans, and Vitinha emerges as the favorite to strengthen Real Madrid's midfield.
