Facundo Campazzo said that Olympiacos are the best team in Europe right now. He added that Real Madrid will need to be 100% focused physically and mentally for the upcoming game.
After a record-breaking game and a win against Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv in Round 21 of the EuroLeague, Real Madrid guard Facundo Campazzo was already focused on the next game against Olympiacos Piraeus.

"Get some rest, think about Olympiacos right now," Facu said in a flash interview with EuroLeague TV. "They are the best team in Europe right now. We have to be 100% focused physically and mentally. It's gonna be a fun game."
The Real Madrid guard was happy about the win but was concerned with their lack of defense, as the Spanish club allowed 113 points.
"I think for the fans, it was a great game. I think we are happy about the win, but we are a little bit upset because we didn't play enough defense today. I mean, we won, we scored more than 100 points, we shared the ball, we were awesome in the offense, but we have to play more defense," said Campazzo.
Olympiacos also secured a 102-101 win in Round 21 against Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz in a nail-bitter game that even got to overtime.
The two teams who faced each other in last year's semifinal are meeting again in Madrid on Thursday.
Olympiacos sit at the top of the standings with a 15-6 record, while Real Madrid, at 12-9, is gaining momentum but still needs a strong run to secure a playoff spot.
