Real Madrid and Olympiacos meet this Sunday in the decisive match to win the EuroLeague, thus playing one of the great classics of European basketball. In addition, this will be the fifth time they face each other in the final of this tournament, three since 2013. The record favors the whites, winners in two of them (2015 and 2023), while the Greek team won the London final in 2013.
In the case of the Greeks, they seek revenge in front of their fans three years later. The Hellenic team wants to achieve in their city and before 15,000 people, their fourth European crown after those won in 1997, 2012, and 2013. Meanwhile, Madrid, playing their fourth final in five years, dreams of the twelfth. That said, without Tavares, without Len, and without Garuba.
The last precedent of both teams in a final is recent, from 2023, when a basket by Sergio Llull with three seconds left allowed the white team to win. On this occasion, the shooting guard and captain of the Spanish team plays his eleventh Final Four and could become the first player in the 21st century to reach four titles of the top continental tournament with the same team.
