Alex Abrines claimed it would be easier for Barcelona to win the EuroLeague than the ACB.

Both competitions have been suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic.

“I am in favor of giving the (ACB) title to Barcelona, It is not because we are the first ones [in the standings]. Obviously, if it were Madrid, Madrid would be fair [to be named champion]. We have played six months of competition, it would throw all our work this season in the trash if they don’t give a title.

I have no problem, if the Euroleague is canceled, to give it to Efes. In the end, they are the ones who have proved to be the best for most of the season. I sincerely believe that it is easier to win the Euroleague.

In the case of playing the ACB, the most normal thing is for the finals to be Madrid-Barcelona, and beating Madrid in five games is very difficult. On the other hand, playing a Final Four and winning a match against Madrid and another against Efes is not so difficult for me,” Abrines told YouTuber Valentí Sanjuan.
