Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade delivered one of its most convincing performances of the 2026-27 EuroLeague season on Thursday, overwhelming FC Bayern Munich 103-73 at Belgrade Arena to improve to 6-3.
Chima Moneke led a balanced offensive display with 15 points, five rebounds and five assists. Six Zvezda players scored in double figures as the hosts followed up Tuesday’s 100-78 win over Maccabi Rapyd Tel Aviv with another dominant home performance.
Zvezda’s new addition Christian Koloko made a major impact in just his second EuroLeague appearance. The newcomer finished with 12 points and five blocks, helping Zvezda establish a 48-31 halftime advantage before the hosts extended their lead in the third quarter.

Nick Weiler-Babb played a key defensive role by limiting former teammate Andreas Obst to three points on 1-of-6 shooting. Obst missed all four of his two-point attempts and made just one of four shots from beyond the arc.
Duane Washington led Bayern with 16 points, while Miles Norris finished with 14.
