The stage is set, and the countdown has begun for the highly anticipated Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Final Four in Berlin. Four formidable teams, Olympiacos, Real Madrid, Panathinaikos, and Fenerbahce, are poised to battle it out for European glory.
Last season’s finalists, Olympiacos and Real Madrid are set to clash in one of the semifinals, while Panathinaikos and Fenerbahce will engage in a fierce battle in the other. The question on everyone’s mind is, who will emerge victorious? Here’s what the Piraeus team players think about the outcome of the other semifinal pair.
In a Eurohoops poll, eight Olympiacos players voted for the Turkish side Fenerbahce, while four voted for their arch-rivals, Panathinaikos.
To be precise, Isaiah Canaan, Filip Petrusev, Naz Mitrou-Long, Georgios Tanoulis, Alec Peters, Ignas Brazdeikis, Luke Sikma, and Thomas Walkup believe Fenerbahce will edge the Greek side and make it to the Final.
“I like the Fenerbahce team and the depth that they have. They have a lot more than just two scorers on their team, and I feel Fener got the nod“, Canaan said.
On the other hand, Shaquille McKissic, Moses Wright, Nigel Williams-Goss, and team captain Kostas Papanikolaou see Panathinaikos advancing to the Championship game.
“I would love to see Panathinaikos. I know everybody’s going to hate me saying that, but having another Greek team potentially making it to the Final would be amazing for the country“, Wright stated.
