Eight matches in 17 days is the marathon of matches that Real Madrid must face, starting with the match against Monaco this Friday, an extremely dangerous match.
It is true that Monaco is not the strong team of last season but, as Sergio Scariolo said: “We are clear that we are going to face the current vice-champion of the Euroleague”.
The Monegasques, coached by Spanoulis, are in the group of teams at the top of the ranking. They are sixth with 10 victories in 17 matches, two behind the second, which is Valencia, which has already played this eighteenth round.
They have a complete team, since they have just recovered David Michineau and Nemanja Nedovic, they have a record of 6-2 at home and have Mike James (16.8), Alpha Diallo (12.5) and Elie Okobo (11.4) as main offensive references. In addition, Niko Mirotic will face his former team for the first time as a Monaco player, the team he signed during the last pre-season.
