Facundo Campazzo was named MVP of the 2024 Copa del Rey after guiding Real Madrid to their 29th trophy in the competition. The Argentinian has won the award again on the same stage four years later and after averaging 14.7 points, 6.3 assists, 2.3 steals and 20.3 in PIR in the three Madrid victories in this Copa. This is the second consecutive MVP for the Madrid point guard after the one he obtained in the Spanish Super Cup.

In the quarterfinals, Campazzo recorded 25 in PIR with 16 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists in 22:47 minutes of play. In the semi-finals, he was again instrumental with 10 points and 9 assists for 22 in PIR in 25:47 minutes. And in the final, he registered 16 points, 4 assists and 25 in PIR in 22:47 minutes. After the game, Campazzo had this to say: “I'm delighted. It wasn't easy. We knew it was going to be a very tough match, that it was going to come down to the fine details.”

“I'm pleased because the collective work was incredible. Whoever played one minute, two, ten or didn't play, the work was unbelievable. We wanted to get the cup back for Madrid, which we hadn't been able to do for a few years. Now we've got it, we're enjoying it and we're going to keep working hard.”

Job done
“I'm a bit tired, but the joy trumps the tiredness itself. We're all tired, but that's a good sign that we did our job. It could've gone badly, but we had to leave tired.”
