Llull: “Three regular season games remain, and they are three finals”

Sergio Llull analyzed the upcoming match that Real Madrid will play on Olympiacos' court, corresponding to Round 36 of the EuroLeague (Tuesday, 8:15 pm; #Vamos) on Realmadrid TV. The captain stated after the last training session before traveling to Athens: “We approach it as if it were a final, aiming to achieve the goal of finishing among the top four. They are a direct rival who are currently in first place, on a great streak of results, playing at a high level, and it will be a very tough match, as it always is in Greece. However, the team is eager to perform well and secure a victory.”

“The key will be to match their toughness. They are a team that plays very physically, especially at home, and we also need to be mindful of many talented players who can decide games. But we also need to focus on ourselves, doing the things we know how to do well to have a chance at winning.”

Importance of the victory for the standings
“It would be vital, a very important victory if we manage to win. There are only three games left in the regular season, and they are three finals to try to be among the top four and take advantage of the home court factor with our fans in the playoffs.”

Would winning there make a statement?
“Without a doubt. Also because winning away has been a bit challenging for us this year, especially in the EuroLeague. Winning at a venue like Olympiacos' would definitely make a statement, showing that we are ready for what lies ahead and motivated.”
