The 2023-24 EuroLeague champion will be crowned this Sunday night

It all comes down to this… Real Madrid vs. Panathinaikos

Two of the most storied clubs in Turkish Airlines EuroLeague history will battle for the title this Sunday night, as Real Madrid and Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens prepare to leave everything out on the floor in the championship game at Uber Arena in Berlin, Germany.

Panathinaikos boss Ergin Ataman has become a specialist in reaching the championship game, reaching four of the last five, and he’s looking to lift his third EuroLeague trophy as head coach. “We are here to win the title,” Ataman boldly exclaimed.

Real Madrid tactician Chus Mateo, meanwhile, is the most recent coach to get their hands on European basketball’s biggest prize, having led Los Blancos all the way last season. “We will fight until the end to get the victory,” Mateo said. Should Real go back-to-back, it will become just the third club to do so this century.

Get ready, the latest EuroLeague champion will be crowned tonight, with the championship game getting underway at 20:00 CEST.

Coach Mateo on back-to-back titles: 'We want to do it'

Real Madrid is seeking its record 12th EuroLeague crown when it meets Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens in the 2024 championship game in Berlin. *Los Blancos* were the best team during the regular season, they swept their best-of-five playoff series and jumped out to a big early lead in the semifinals against Olympiacos. Yet, all that means very little on Sunday night.

"You don't have time to celebrate, you are good as your last game", Real forward Dzanan Musa says. "Whatever happened yesterday is in the past."

What will it take to lift the trophy after Sunday's championship game?

"Panathinaikos is a great team, too", says Real coach Chus Mateo. "We have to be ready for one of the best games in the history of the Final Four."

The win on Sunday would mean Real has won its first back-to-back title in the Final Four era and *Los Blancos* are shy about it.

"It is possible and we want to do it, this is the goal we want to achieve", Coach Mateo says.

### Real clinches 12th title

#### *by Javi Gancedo*

It has been a fantastic season for Real Madrid, with basically no struggles or bad moments at any point, and it should finish with a bang, conquering the EuroLeague title. Panathinaikos has enough weapons to put up a good fight, with two elite generators like Kostas Sloukas and Kendrick Nunn, a force of nature like center Mathias Lessort and key players like Marius Grigonis and especially Ioannis Papapetrou in great shape. Real has last season's experience, and compared to the 2023 championship game, Los Blancos have Facu Campazzo, Vincent Poirier and Guerschon Yabusele this time. Real's combination of experience, depth and self-confidence is, I think, unprecedented. This version of Real Madrid is the kind of team fans will look back at in 20-30 years as one of the best ever. For that, Real needs to win tonight and win back-to-back EuroLeague titles for the first time since 1968, and I am sure ambitious players like Rudy Fernandez, Sergio Llull and Sergio Rodriguez don't want to spoil a good story. I predicted that Real would win both Final Four games by double digits, and stand by that choice. **My pick: Real**

### Panathinaikos’s Big Three to bring a seventh star to Athens

#### *by Geoff Gillingham*

For me, this year’s championship game is incredibly tough to call. On the one hand, I can imagine Real Madrid rising to the occasion and giving Rudy Fernandez the EuroLeague farewell he deserves. On the other, I can also picture Ergin Ataman raising both of his fists in the air to the Panathinaikos supporters. With the Greens’ passage to this year’s title decider, Coach Ataman has now been in four of the last five championship games. There’s a ton of experience on Real Madrid’s side, but I think that Panathinaikos will be buoyed by beating Los Blancos on their own patch in Round 27, when Ataman’s men became the first team to defeat last year’s champions on their home court. If Mathias Lessort can dominate the paint and Panathinaikos’s guard duo Kostas Sloukas and Kendrick Nunn do their thing, I believe that’ll be enough for the Greens to lift their first EuroLeague trophy since 2011. **My pick: Panathinaikos**

### Not only back-to-back, Real goes wire-to-wire

#### *by Frankie Sachs*

There is a narrative that while Real Madrid came in as the defending champion, Panathinaikos rebuilt its squad, improved throughout the season and now is on the brink of making history by winning the championship. Guess what? This is not the same Real madrid team that dominated one year ago in Kaunas. It’s better. Los Blancos also spent a season perfecting things. They have the talent, the depth and the experience to get the job done. I expect team captain Sergio Llull to invite Sergio Rodriguez and Rudy Fernandez to lift the cup with him. It will be the end of an era and it will end with the club’s 12th crown. **My pick: Real Madrid**

### The trophy will stay in Real's hands

#### *by Frank Lawlor*

Word is that Dimitris Diamantidis will be in the house tonight. Ergin Ataman might want to put him in uniform. The Panathinaikos defense rocked against Fenerbahce on Friday. It will have to rock and roll against Real Madrid on Sunday. If Facu Campazzo and Sergio Rodriguez are free to roam, the defending champs will be very hard to beat, given all the targets they can feed. If, on the other hand, Jerian Grant and maybe Panagiotis Kalaitzakis can disrupt the Real creators, Panathinaikos has a better chance. The other key for the Greens is rebounding, which means that Dinos Mitoglou will have to play a major role helping out Mathias Lessort. Whatever else, Panathinaikos must stop Real from running. Alas, the best inch-for-inch defender in EuroLeague history, Diamantidis, will not be in uniform. For that reason, I see Real going back-to-back and being the first modern EuroLeague team to lead from tipoff to final buzzer over a full season. **My pick: Real Madrid.**

### Get ready for Green party in Berlin

#### *by Igor Petrinovic*

One game for all the glory! On one side it is Real Madrid, its offense and an incredible experience of playing in these types of games. On the other, it is Panathinaikos and the defense that allowed only 57 points in the semifinals. As much as Los Blancos have experience, that's how much Panathinaikos lacks it. Apart from Kostas Sloukas and coach Ergin Ataman who feel comfortable in the Final Four championship games, it is a group of players who have not previously been in this situation in their careers before. But the Greens seem determined to make that inexperience irrelevant, and they certainly have the tools to beat Real. They proved that in regular season when they embraced that run-and-gun style, and scored 97 points in a win in Madrid. I think EuroLeague trophy goes to Athens after 13 years, and Kendrick Nunn will be the one holding Final Four MVP trophy when the night ends. **My** **pick: Panathinaikos.**

Bold predictions: Predicting the Championship Game

The 2024 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Championship Game is getting closer! Only a few hours remain before Real Madrid and Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens meet for the continental crown. 

The experts predict championship game winner

On Sunday afternoon, we asked some former players and experts on the matter what they expect from the championship game, who they expect to win and who they think will be chosen as the Final Four MVP.

The two time Turkish Airlines EuroLeague champion and the 2022 EuroLeague MVP Vasilije Micic is in Berlin and looking forward to the championship game between Real Madrid and Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens. In an exclusive interview with [EuroLeague.net](http://EuroLeague.net), Micic gives his take on the matchup, and who he thinks will win the EuroLeague crown on Sunday night.

Vasilije Micic predicts the Championship Game

Final Four Ambassador Ramunas Siskauskas, who won two EuroLeague titles and was chosen as the 2008 EuroLeague MVP, expects a close game between the best two teams this season playing the best basketball. When it comes to picking, Siskauskas gives a 51-49% advantage to one team – Real Madrid.

Ramunas Siskauskas predicts Championship Game

Rimantas Kaukenas, the GM of Wolves Vilnius and a veteran of eight EuroLeague seasons between 2005 and 2014 has a clear favorite. One of those seasons was spent with Real Madrid and he both believes and wants Los Blancos to repeat as champion.

Rimantas Kaukenas predicts Championship Game

Jan Jagla, a Berlin native, won the EuroCup with Joventut Badalona in 2008.  He recalls fondly his time there alongside Rudy Fernandez, whom he will be rooting for tonight in the championship game. When asked about what he expects from the championship game, the veteran of four EuroLeague seasons said he was leaning towards Rudy’s team in what will be the swingman’s final EuroLeague appearance.

Kostas Sloukas continues making history

[Kostas Sloukas](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/kostas-sloukas/001926/) of Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens already belongs to the golden pages of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague record books. By making it to his eighth championship game, Sloukas has done something that no player has achieved since the late 1970s.

Sloukas has played for the title with Olympiacos Piraeus in 2012, 2013, 2015 and 2023 and with Fenerbahce Istanbul in 2016, 2017 and 2018. 

Entering this season, Sloukas was tied with Matjaz Smodis for the most championship game appearances of the current century with seven. Smodis made two with Virtus Bologna (2001, 2002), another with Fortitudo Bologna (2004) and four with CSKA Moscow (2006, 2007, 2008, 2009). Rudy Fernandez and Sergio Llull will also be playing their respective seventh championship games with Real Madrid on Sunday.

You have to go way back to find players with at least eight championship game appearances; most of them are from Pallacanestro Varese, which reached 10 consecutive European Cup finals from 1970 to 1979. Dino Meneghin leads the list with 13 championship game appearances - 10 with Varese and three with Olimpia Milan. Only Aldo Ossola (10) and Clifford Luyk (9) have been to more top-tier championship games since the introduction of pan-European competitions in 1958.

Sloukas has a golden chance to win the EuroLeague title with three different teams. He previously lifted the trophy with Olympiacos (2012, 2013) and Fenerbahce (2017). Sarunas Jasikevicius is the only other player to win the EuroLeague with three different teams: FC Barcelona (2003), Maccabi Tel Aviv (2004, 2005) and Panathinaikos (2009).

Sloukas can also become the 17th player ever to win four or more EuroLeague titles. Only two players have won four titles in the 21st century: Jasikevicius and Kyle Hines, who was Sloukas's Olympiacos teammate in 2012 and 2013, and won it again with CSKA in 2016 and 2019.

From a statistical perspective, Sloukas is also cementing his status among the greats. He is ranked second in free throws, third in assists, fifth in PIR and seventh in scoring among all players in Final Four games this century. With 49 free throws, Sloukas is 10 behind Nando De Colo for the most in Final Four history. His 64 assists trail only two of his opponents tonight, Sergio Llull (70) and Sergio Rodriguez (74). With PIR, he has 172 and needs 17 to catch Theo Papaloukas for fourth. And in points scored, Sloukas has 167, but with 13 points would leapfrog Juan Carlos Navarro, Langdon and De Colo into fourth place. 

At age 34, Sloukas is in his first season with Panathinaikos. He signed a three-year deal, which gives him a chance to keep adding more trophies and milestones to his already outstanding career.

Kostas Sloukas continues making history 

The two have joined forces again, having worked together on a project in Athens and Istanbul over the last three seasons

One Team, BKT come together to open refurbished court in Berlin

The power of One Team grows further each year and even more so when a partner such as BKT is ready to help take things to the next level. On Friday afternoon, One Team and BKT collaborated once again to help refurbish a basketball court at Lisa-Tetzner Schule elementary school, with the aim of helping improve the lives of youngsters who are in need or at risk of exclusion.

Turkish Airlines EuroLeague club ALBA Berlin has been working with Lisa-Tetzner Schule for the last few seasons as it looks to provide support for socially disadvantaged children and young teenagers in a socio-economically challenging environment. With the Final Four coming to Berlin, One Team and BKT came together and decided to provide an improved space for locals to play.

"It's a great pleasure to be here to inaugurate this great basketball court," said Lucia Salmaso, Managing Director of BKT Europe. "When \[One Team\] decided to approach us regarding sponsorship, we could not believe the impact that this sponsorship can have on a community. I believe that BKT has demonstrated with actions these projects have a great meaning for us. This is the third project that we have created along with One Team, and it is proof that we can do better to support the growth of communities. I hope that this court will bring a lot of happiness, joy, growth and opportunity to all the kids, to all the students and to all the residents of this neighborhood."

"I'm incredibly excited and proud that we have been able to open a third refurbished court thanks to our partnership with BKT," added Abigail Martin, Director of Sustainability and Development Projects at Euroleague Basketball. "These are honestly the best days for me. I would like to give a big thank you to ALBA Berlin, to Lisa-Tetzner Schule elementary school, and to specially Lucia and the BKT team for helping to make all of this possible. These projects are one of the highlights of the Final Four, as the social work put in by many different people comes together and ends up with a lot of excited individuals, in this case children. We are so, so thankful for everyone's efforts and we would love to have more of these community-committed projects in the future."

During Friday’s event, the participants took part in some One Team drills and featured in an exhibition tournament that was held by ALBA’s One Team Coaches. Former ALBA center Patrick Femerling, who played for the club over three spells and won a EuroLeague title with FC Barcelona in 2003, was present at the event, as was four-year former EuroLeague guard Heiko Schaffartzik. They both joined in with the activities with the children and were delighted with the work done by One Team.

"It was a lot of fun because the kids had a lot of fun," commented Heiko Schaffartzik. "The only reason why the kids could have fun is because the court exists. Without the court, the kids wouldn't be able to have this experience. Patrick Femerling is here and the EuroLeague is here. Next week they will not be, but the court will still be here, so they can still have fun and play by themselves. They're very enthusiastic kids here, they're really competitive and they really enjoy playing basketball, so this is a fantastic thing for the community."

This is the third straight year in which One Team and BKT have gone hand in hand to refurbish a court and help the community as a result, having improved the Kypseli court in Athens and given children there a new home where they can play basketball and have fun with friends. Also, in the 2021-22 season, the partnership between One Team and BKT saw the refurbishment of two courts at the TEB Atasehir Anatolian High School, the social partner of Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul for that season.

In addition to giving back to Berlin by helping to take this basketball court to another level, One Team is also putting on a session featuring Final Four players at Kraftwerk on Saturday and Sunday, which will feature some of the biggest names at the Final Four, along with the participation of the Final Four Ambassadors.

Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens looks to end a lengthy championship drought when it faces Real Madrid in the EuroLeague Championship. After using a strong start and finish to dispose of Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul in Friday’s semifinal, Coach Ergin Ataman states that “our goal is to win the finale… we are not scared of anything.”

All-EuroLeague center Mathias Lessort is confident of the Greens’ chances: “Madrid is the favorite. They have been favorite all year. We saw this year that we can match them. Just have to make them uncomfortable.”

The stands at Uber Arena will be packed with Panathinaikos supporters and according to Lessort, that can be the Greens’ secret weapon.

“Having the fans behind you to push you helps you to make the extra effort on defense, to jump higher, to get extra rebounds. When you get tired, just hear them pushing you gives you that extra boost that you might need to win,” Lessort said. “It’s gonna 40 minutes of basketball. It’s not rocket science or anything… We have to leave our heart on the court”

One of the best parts about Final Four weekend – apart from the basketball on the court – is when the players from the four clubs come along to enjoy a One Team session. This year, that took place at the FanZone on Saturday morning, with plenty of fans also present to see some of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague’s biggest stars join forces with the One Team participants from ALBA Berlin.

Final Four stars thrilled One Team participants at the FanZone

One of the best parts about Final Four weekend – apart from the basketball on the court – is when the players from the four clubs come along to enjoy a One Team session. This year, that took place at the FanZone on Saturday morning, with plenty of fans also present to see some of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague’s biggest stars join forces with the One Team participants from ALBA Berlin.

Enjoying the activities were Juancho Hernangomez and Kostas Antetokounmpo from Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens, Eli Ndiaye from Real Madrid, Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul duo Nigel Hayes-Davis and Georgios Papagiannis, and Olympiacos Piraeus pair Kostas Papanikolaou and Giannoulis Larentzakis.

The players joined ALBA’s One Team participants for some One Team drills that were led by ALBA’s One Team coaches, which instantly brought lots of smiles to everyone’s faces.

“It’s always good to give back and do nice things, to try to be a face, a pillar in the community, an inspiration and try to spread joy,” said Nigel Hayes-Davis. “It’s always good to get out and do something like this. The main goal is to make sure the kids enjoy themselves, and I think they had a good time today. They were playing basketball with people they watch play on TV. Perhaps some of the kids look up to some of us as idols or some of their favorite players, so to be able to get out there and interact with them, take pictures, play games is hopefully an experience that will inspire them and be something that they’ll remember and enjoy.” 

Once all the drills had finished, an exhibition game took place as the Final Four players were split between the two teams, with ALBA’s One Team participants also being split across the two teams. The kids were able to receive passes from their favorite places and try to score, or vice versa. The stuff of dreams!

“I’m really happy that I could take part \[today\],” noted Juancho Hernangomez. “I’ve had a really good year \[assisting with One Team\] with my team, Panathinaikos, and it’s truly an honor for me to help. I’m really glad, really happy. It fills me with joy, I love doing things to help people. Even just being with them in a photo, a video is something great for them. To bring a smile to their faces is the best feeling there is.”

ALBA’s One Team program this season aims to support socially disadvantaged children and young teenagers from the Lisa-Tetzner-Schule elementary school, which is located in a socio-economically challenging area of Berlin.

“You can see how much everyone enjoys it – from the players to the kids,” commented Kostas Papanikolaou. “It’s an amazing thing, it’s an amazing initiative. It started many years ago and still up to this day, it provides a lot of smiles, a lot of good things for everyone. I really, really enjoy being here and participating in these events.”

The One Team program implemented by ALBA is embedded in the club’s nationwide SPORT VERNETZT initiative, a project which seeks to bring the community together and help them develop an excitement for physical activities, as well as use basketball as a tool to focus on teamwork, integration, motivation communication and tolerance.

“It’s incredible that we can help the kids, that they enjoy themselves with us and that they can play with us,” added Eli Ndiaye. “It’s an honor to share this experience with them. The truth is that that it’s great as the kids get to have fun in an incredible way.”
