Olympiacos 78 – 79 Real Madrid: Real Madrid culminates its summit feat and achieves its eleventh Euroleague

deed, feat, epic, epic… Give it whatever name you want. Any of these nouns can be associated with the conquest of the Euroleague title by Real Madrid. The whites, who reached the final chaining feats together, completed their crowning feat on ‘D-Day’. Chus Mateo’s team came back from behind against Olympiacos (78-79) with a basket on Llull’s buzzer and sealed their eleventh Euroleague. The most special. The most difficult. The most heroic

Real Madrid completed a new comeback after losing for most of the final. The whites entrusted themselves to the ‘old guard’, the one that rescued them in the historic quarterfinal battle against Partizán and in the semifinals against Barcelona. Tavares (MVP of the Final Four), ‘Chacho’, Causeur… and Llull. The Spaniard, who had barely made an appearance in the final, took responsibility for taking the last shot. He only scored two points. But go two points. They are worth a Euroleague, the third in their extensive record.

Before all that, Olympiacos signed a very serious final. A match that justified why the Greeks finished the regular phase first. Hand in hand with excellent Vezenkov (29 points) and Canaan (21), the Hellenes grabbed a handle of the trophy. With 2:10 to go, Bartzokas’s team led by six points (78-72).

It was at that moment, when the wrist trembles for many, when the ‘Chacho’ came to the white rescue. Five points in a row from the canary brought Madrid closer and paved the way for Llull completed the feat with a basket that enters with gold letters in the history of Real Madrid.
