Campazzo, MVP of the final: "We deserved this league title”
"It's not easy to win trophies, you have to appreciate what we did," said the point guard, who averaged 13 points, 7 assists and 14.7 in PIR against Valencia Basket.
Facundo Campazzo was named MVP of the Liga Endesa 2024/25 final. The Argentine point guard, who lifted the trophy six seasons ago against Barcelona, guided Real Madrid to their 38th league title with averages of 13 points, 7 assists and 14.7 in PIR against Valencia Basket: “We deserved this league title, but we had to work for it. It wasn't an easy year. It was incredible but not easy, with many ups and downs. It's a credit to come out with a title under your arm."
"The team's main characteristic is its leaders who contribute a lot and who give up the limelight for the good of the team. It's not easy to win trophies, you have to appreciate what we've done, at least by playing in finals. This year, we only won one, but it's a huge effort, we played against a team with great individuals who demanded the maximum from you. We have to embrace this trophy and cherish it.”
Campazzo has enjoyed a fantastic final stretch of the season. In the first game against Valencia, he racked up 12 points and 13 in PIR. In the second, he posted a double-double with 18 points, 11 assists (a record in a final) and 19 in PIR. And in the third game at La Fonteta, he notched 9 points, 8 assists and 13 in PIR in 30:11 minutes of play.
Eight MVPs to his name
The Argentinian keeps on winning trophies and individual awards. Before heading to the NBA, he won four consecutive MVPs with Real Madrid. He took the MVP of the Liga Endesa 2018-19 final, the Super Cup 2019, the Copa del Rey 2020 and the Super Cup 2020. In addition, last season he received the MVP of the Super Cup 2023, the Copa del Rey 2024 and the Regular Season 2023-24.
