Real Madrid pay tribute to Petrovic

Real Madrid on Thursday paid tribute to the club’s legend, Drazen Petrovic, who died in 1993.

The Spanish club was in attendance at the tribute paid to Petrovic, which took place at the Zagreb Arena with a game between Croatia’s national team, of which Hezonja is a member, and a team of European players, in which Tavares and Musa played.

DAILY POST reports that the event was also attended by Alberto Herreros, technical director of the basketball division, and Felipe Reyes.

During the game there was a special moment when Real Madrid paid tribute to Petrovic during a time-out in the second quarter.

Herreros and Reyes went out to the centre of the court and presented Asa Petrovic, the legendary Real Madrid player’s brother, with a commemorative plaque and a team jersey with the name and number 5 that Petrovic wore for Madrid.

Petrovic played for Real Madrid in the 1988/89 season.

He left an indelible mark on his time at the club.
