The early stages of the game saw an inspired Real Madrid, spearheaded by the dynamic duo of Facundo Campazzo and Walter Tavares. Fenerbahçe, perhaps expecting a repeat of Madrid’s previous performance, was met with an irrepressible force. Tavares,when allowed to focus on his game without succumbing to officiating frustrations,proved to be an undeniable presence in the paint. His impact, much like Campazzo’s at the point guard position, is crucial to Madrid’s success.

Campazzo, frequently enough the engine of real Madrid’s offense, demonstrated his importance from the outset. He ignited the scoring with a couple of flawless three-pointers, setting the tone for what would be a dominant performance. This resurgence from their floor general is a welcome sight for Madrid fans, especially after a period where his usual brilliance seemed somewhat muted.
