Valencia Basket and Real Madrid are playing this Friday. The first quarter of the match could not have been more even. After a better start from Sergio Scariolo’s side, Valencia managed to equalize and even take the initiative. The whites managed to tie with a three-pointer a few seconds before the end of the first quarter, but a new Valencian basket left them ahead heading into the second quarter (28-26). The stage is the OAKA Arena, where the team taronja made a great comeback in their quarter-final tie against Panathinaikos and then finished off at the Roig Arena. The whites, who qualified for their eleventh Final Four in the last 15 years after eliminating Hapoel Tel Aviv, are looking for a new final, where Olympiacos is already waiting after beating Fenerbahçe in the other semifinal (79-61). Valencia, for its part, is looking for a final that will allow it to win its first Euroleague after having four EuroCups in its showcases.
