Olympiakos vs. Real Madrid - the final of the Euroleague in basketball is tomorrow from 19:XNUMX in Kaunas.

The Greek giants eliminated Monaco (76:62) in the semi-finals, Madrid were better than Barcelona (78:66), so a replay of the final from 2013 will be watched.

Olympiakos was better then in London (100:88), and Jorgos Barcokas was sitting on the bench of the Piraeus team, just like now.

"If you live in the past, you can't experience anything new. I don't live in the past," said Barcokas.

"If you look at that game from 2013 and the same level game from 2023, you can easily conclude that basketball is changing every day. We are 10 years older and we have changed as people. I just want to enjoy fighting against such a big club like Real," Barcokas added.

Barcokas is one of the six protagonists from that game in 2013 who will fight for the trophy again this season.

In addition to him, from Olympiakos there are Kostas Slukas and Kostas Papanikolaou, while from Real they are Sergio Ljulj, Sergio Rodríguez and Rudi Fernandes.

"We are talking about big clubs in European basketball. Everyone knows what Real and Olympiakos mean. It will be a big battle. I have a lot of respect for Ćus Mateo and Real Madrid, but we believe in our work throughout the season and it will be a very interesting finale," said Barcokas.
