Olympiacos and Real Madrid will face off in Athens on Sunday at 8 PM in the EuroLeague grand final, and ahead of the clash, the Spanish giant's point guard, Facundo Campazzo, shared his thoughts.

Following Friday's semi-final clashes, the finalists were determined and held their training sessions on Saturday evening.

During this time, Real Madrid's point guard, Facundo Campazzo, spoke to the media.

"If we want to win tomorrow, we have to be aggressive from the start. Not just aggressive offensively, but defensively too. They can score in many ways, from the one to the five position, so it will be a big challenge for us. We need to control the rebounding, be ourselves, and play fluidly." - Facundo Campazzo

He also addressed the numerous injuries Real Madrid is facing at the center position.

"We have three significant injuries at the five spot. It's going to be tough, I think it will be difficult to control the rebounds. They have three big guys, long, tall, and athletic, but at the same time, they are very powerful on the perimeter; they can score in many ways, they are talented, they have too much talent." - Facundo Campazzo

Campazzo also recalled the situation after the 2015 EuroLeague final, where Real defeated Olympiacos. Back then, Faku played for Real, and after the game, he entered the opponent's locker room to get Vasilis Spanoulis's jersey.

"I feel I'm mentally much better now than I was then, far more experienced, a better player now than I was back then. I know there was sadness in that Olympiacos locker room, but I'm always grateful to Vasilis for giving me his jersey at that time." - Facundo Campazzo

The final is scheduled for Sunday, with tip-off at 8 PM.
