Wounded competitively and spiritually Olympic traveled to Madrid to confront her Real (25/1, 21:45, www.sportfm.gr, News Bulletin 247, Novasports Prime), as part of its 23rd matchday Euroleague.
At the moment, the “red and white” are in sixth place with a record 12-10while on the other hand the “queen” is alone at the top with 19-3. In the first round game in the SEF, the Spanish had prevailed 77-71.
From then on, Olympiacos went with many problems to the Spanish capital, as the derby with Panathinaikos AKTOR for the Stoiximan Basket League it cost him double and… triple. On the one hand, of course the defeat with a score 85-80 which was a blow to his prestige, since he was from the “eternal rival”. On the other hand, however, what “hurt” his team the most Giorgos Bartzokas was his serious injury Nikola Milutinov.
The Serbian center, who was the MVP in the victory (89-72) of Piraeus against Maccabi Tel Aviv the previous matchday, he will be out for at least two months and given his absence Mustafa Fal, the “red and white” will not have their basic “5” at their disposal! In the meantime, he also has a problem Nigel Williams-Gosswho followed the expedition, but his involvement is doubtful.
In contrast, Real have built a… castle this year in Madrid, as it is the only undefeated one in its stadium in the Euroleague, having ten wins in as many matches. However, last matchday the “queen” received a strong… slap from the Monacolosing heavily 89-74 in the Principality.
