Real Madrid-Asvel: final game of the year at the WiZink Center
Chus Mateo's boys face the French champions looking for their tenth Euroleague win (9:00pm CET).
After a demanding week on the road which ended with Real Madrid topping the League table, today our team heads into the first of the three remaining games to close out 2022. Chus Mateo's boys host Asvel Villeurbanne on Euroleague matchday fifteen 9:00 p.m CET looking to pick up a tenth victory in the competition in the final game of the year in front of our fans.
In what has been a high quality season, with just a single win separating the top six, picking up more points is vital. Real Madrid starts the day in fifth 9-5, tied with Olympiacos and Baskonia. Up the other end is the fourteenth-placed team 6-8, just one win away from the playoff spots and on a three-game winning streak against Barça, Partizán and Olympiacos.

Our team head into the clash full of confidence after coming away from Tenerife top of the League, once again showing impressive solidity 67-80. Now it's time to switch the focus back to Europe for what will be the ninth match against the French side in the continent's top competition. The head-to-head favours our team 7-1 but TJ Parker's team are dangerous visitors, having already won at Barça, Virtus Bologna and Valencia Basket this season.
Physical challenge
Asvel is one of the strongest teams in this regard, with powerful players in all positions. They also possess a huge threat from three, headed by the talented Nando de Colo. Madrid will have to assert their defense and their superiority in the paint, patrolled by the giant Fall 2.21 m.. Tavares and Musa are the top rated madridistas in the competition so far and both will be key again as the team look to say goodbye to 2022 at the WiZink Center with a win.
