Basketball: EuroLeague Final Four 2024 – Preview, schedule, and how to watch
Real Madrid v Olympiacos
Real Madrid, looking to become victors once more, will have to do so without Argentine Gabriel Deck, who misses out through a knee injury.
But the strength in depth of the Spanish team speaks for itself. Chus Mateo was voted best coach; Mario Hezonja and Walter Tavares were named on the all-EuroLeague Second Team, while Vincent Poirier leads the way for regular season stops.
The all-EuroLeague First Team selection Facundo Campazzo could prove the real difference maker, with the Argentina international eyeing a third title. A ‘conductor’ in the middle, he has been pivotal to Madrid’s impressive season.
They must overcome Olympiacos once more, having done so last year when they triumphed in the 2023 final.
The Greek side is seeking revenge after missing out in 2023, and Defender of the Year Thomas Walkup will be key to them doing so.
Anchoring his team’s defence, Walkup picked up more steals than any other players this season, responsible for 21.7% of all steals by his side.
