On Friday (24/11), the EuroLeague match of Real Madrid against Panathinaikos in Athens will coincide with the Spanish national team’s World Cup Qualifiers opener against Montenegro in Podgorica.
For Real Madrid head coach Pablo Laso, the most celebrated Spanish club playing at the same time with the national team is something… absurd.
“The situation seems quite absurd to me,” Laso said on the matter as reported by AS. “I’m lucky that I’m going to be very focused on one game and I won’t have time to think about the other.”
“As I told you two months ago, I’ll have a match on that day and I’ll only be worried about that,” Real’s coach added.
When asked if Real Madrid will release a player for Sunday’s (26/11) game vs Slovenia for the World Cup Qualifiers, Laso simply replied: “No”.
