Unicaja-Real Madrid: all eyes on the XIV Costa del Sol Tournament, live on Realmadrid TV
Our team go in search of another win at the Martín Carpena in their second pre-season clash (6:00 pm CEST).
Real Madrid will face off with Unicaja this evening in the third and final clash in the XIV Costa del Sol Tournament. The match is set to decide the champions, given each side comes into it having beaten Alba Berlin. For our team, who beat the Germans 90-65 yesterday, it's sure to be another stern test ahead of the start of the season on 27 September, when they play the Super Cup semi against La Laguna Tenerife.
The madridistas put on a strong display in their first pre-season outing, despite having only returned to training two weeks ago, and they'll be hoping for more of the same at the Martín Carpena today. Campazzo spearheaded the victory over Alba Berlin, while Okeke and Almansa both enjoyed debuts.
Meanwhile, Unicaja came past the Germans 92-76 in the opening game, and are always tough opposition. James Webb III, one of their new signings, was the standout performer in the clash with Alba Berlin (17 points, 4 rebounds and a PIR of 18).
Breaking the deadlock
Real Madrid and Unicaja are the two most decorated clubs in this tournament, having each won it five times - which means one side will edge ahead today. Our team have won in 2012, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2022, while the Andalusians were victorious in 2011, 2013, 2021, 2023 and 2024.
