Regal Barcelona, the reigning Euroleague champion, celebrated 80-66 win against Cibona Zagreb to start the new Euroleague season. Ricky Rubio and Juan Carlos Navarro came up with 14 points each for the hosts. For Cibona, the U1st's player Bojan Bogdanovic was excelled with 28 points. A slow scoring first quarter kept things close but when Barca improved defense, Cibona seemed to be helpless and the hosts just kept increasing the gap. Next week Barcelona travels to France to meet Cholet Basket while Cibona welcomes Fenerbahce Ulker in Zagreb.
