After a dramatic and wild season, Crvena Zvezda has secured at least a play-in spot, but their upcoming match in Madrid will be crucial for Saša Obradović's team.
A victory could potentially propel Zvezda to sixth place, guaranteeing a direct playoff berth. Even if that doesn't happen, a win against Real Madrid would very likely secure them seventh place, providing an excellent position heading into the play-in tournament.
The officiating crew for the Real Madrid vs. Zvezda clash, the final regular-season game, was announced a day before the fixture.
The head referee for the game will be Ukrainian Boris Ryzhyk, one of Europe's most renowned and top officials over the past decade. He will be assisted by Estonian Rain Perandi and Poland's Jakub Zamojski.
The Madrid showdown is scheduled for Thursday at 8:45 PM CET. It's worth noting that Real Madrid has suffered only one home loss in the EuroLeague this season, that being against Panathinaikos.
