BELGRADE - Defending champions Red Star Belgrade defeated arch-rivals Partizan 89-88 at home in Game 1 of the play-off final series of the Serbian basketball Super League on Monday evening.

At a packed Aleksandar Nikolic Hall, Dejan Davidovac led the scoring for Red Star with 23 points and Yago dos Santos added 18.

Lionel Messi scored his 644th goal for Barcelona during his side's victory over Real Valladolid to break Pele's record of the most goals for one club.

Argentina forward Messi, 33, scored Barca's third when he collected Pedri's backheel, took a touch then slotted the ball past goalkeeper Jordi Masip.
