The time of the grand finale has arrived for Olympiacos<\/strong>, which faces Real Madrid<\/strong> at the T-Center<\/strong> in Athens, with the top of the Euroleague<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

A few hours before kickoff, the biggest sports media in Spain are speaking with absolute respect for the Greek team and the work of Jiorgos Bartzokas<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

The AS<\/strong> newspaper presents the “reds” as the “great dominator” of the last leg of the season. At the same time, he notes that this season looks ideal for the club to return to the top of Europe. <\/p>\n

Marca<\/strong> was even more telling, standing by Marca’s<\/strong> report, which stood by Olympiacos’ overall performance through the season. The Spaniards described the Piraeus team as the most complete opponent in the competition. <\/p>\n

“Real will face Olympiacos, the best team on the continent. That alone is enough to demonstrate the level of difficulty of the final,” the Spanish newspaper said. <\/p>\n

Real Madrid’s absences and the Piraeus team’s “weapons” <\/h3>\n

The Spanish publications also put special emphasis on the problems Real Madrid<\/strong> are facing in the racket. The absences of Len<\/strong>, Tavares<\/strong> and Garuba<\/strong> are considered crucial ahead of the clash with one of the strongest frontlines in the competition. <\/p>\n

At the same time, the Spanish media is standing by Olympiacos’ key players. Standing out are Sasha Vezenkov<\/strong>, Evan Fournier<\/strong> and Tyler Dorsey<\/strong>, while special mention is also made of the strength of Milutinov<\/strong>, Jones<\/strong> and Hall<\/strong> near the basket. <\/p>\n

In Spain, they believe that Bartzokas’s team<\/strong> has managed to combine quality, depth and consistency, elements that got them to the final and make them favorites for the European crown. <\/p>\n
