The European basketball competition is entering its final stage, with two important dates scheduled for Olympiacos and AEK tonight.

The Red-Whites will take on Barcelona in a tight SEF (21:00) on Matchday 27 of the EuroLeague in a high-stakes game in which the Red-Whites will look to bounce back from their loss in Milan to Armani.

The appearance of Piraeus both in this game and in the game against Colossos for the championship, which was very close to their first defeat in the championship, was problematic, and Giorgos Bartzokas did not hide it, since this game is the devil’s week ( on Thursday they face Bayern in the SEF).

“Our schedule has been especially busy lately. We played two games in 42 hours, plus a trip where we stayed up all night. This fatally brings physical and mental fatigue, which must be quickly overcome. We have a very difficult game against a team that is in good shape and has won five in a row. We have to give our best,” the Olympiacos coach emphasized.

Barcelona are suffering a painful loss to Zaragoza in the Spanish league, and Šarunas Jasikevicius called Olympiacos the best team in the Euroleague with “extremely good possession of the ball”, saying that his team has gone crazy and should recover soon.

AEK plays one of its most important games in the Basketball Champions League, meeting Limoges in France (21:30), aiming to reach the 1/8 finals. If he wins, Enos will make the qualifying jump to 3-1 and have a clear lead to advance to the quarter-finals. Elias Kanzouris has Akil Mitchell at his disposal, and after their debut in the league, Brandon Lemar and Pierre Oriola will also play in Europe. The team’s mission was accompanied by KAE President Makis Angelopoulos.
