The Greek club finished the main Euroleague tournament in first place. The team kept a high pace for a long time and, most importantly, demonstrated good teamwork on the court.
In the last round, Olympiacos beat Maccabi Tel Aviv on the home floor, which in principle did not surprise anyone (99:93). Georgios Bartzokas' players were forced to play at full capacity, as the opponent did not let them relax. The Piraeus club qualified for the playoffs, where it received a serious opponent from Real Madrid at the start. Most likely, in the very first match we will see a real spectacle.

Real Madrid
SpainCurrent form
The Spanish grandee cannot boast of such confident performances as the opponent, but by the end of the regular season he has noticeably improved. The team was a little short of being in the top 6 of the Euroleague, so Madrid had to play a play-in.
Real Madrid missed their first chance in the match against Paris, unexpectedly losing (73:81). Mateo Chus drew conclusions, and in the game against Bayern, a completely different team with noticeable motivation entered the court. The meeting was held at home, and the fans demanded only victory. Mario Hezonja showed his best side and helped defeat the Munich team (93:71).
