The Real Madrid club can complete a big double within a week.
Tonight (Saturday, 20:00) the basketball team can win the Euroleague and in a week the football team can win the Champions League.
There are quite a few similarities between the arrival of the two groups and the class.
They both overcame great difficulties along the way, and both demonstrated superiority and showed what is the strength of this club and its tradition.
Real will meet Andolo Zero, its own plans, in the final in Belgrade tonight.
Argin Ataman's team wants to win for the second time in a row and position itself as one of the biggest teams in the Euroleague ever.
Win or lose tonight and we will also see the farewell appearance of the dynasty - the great team of players of the Turkish team that has hardly changed in the last four seasons.
Next season there will be changes and refreshments in the team's adolescent team anyway.
Welcome to Championship Saturday! # F4GLORY awaits.

So what have we learned from this season regarding tonight's finals?
First of all, it will be a meeting between Real's character and Andulo's talent.
Real gave this season a lesson in getting out of difficult situations when it came out of an acute and ongoing crisis until the finals.
Two months back, this team broke every negative record and at times seemed like it was incapable of winning a game.
Also in the semi-finals we saw her special character with the big turnaround on the third night over Barcelona and the ability to win in the dramatic end.
In the 25th minute it was a comfortable 13-point lead for the Catalans.
To the character we can connect the vast experience that this team has and the amounts of its game intelligence led by coach Pablo Lasso - season 11 at the club.

Andulo has been the best team in the factory for the last four years, both in terms of achievements and in terms of the level of basketball.
This is her third consecutive final, in which she achieved a win last season and another win that may have been taken from her in 2020 so the season was stopped because of the Corona.
Andulo is actually the ultimate combination of achievement and beauty in basketball.
Attractiveness alongside degrees.
The character of Real is represented by Sergio Yui, who at the age of 34 after serious injuries his body is far from what it was, but the heart, experience and intelligence are still there in a big way.
Andulo's talent is represented by one of the two best guards ever in the factory: Shane Larkin and Vasilya Mitchic.
A great evening of both and the trophy will land again in Istanbul.
Mitchich is a story in itself.
Will those who are not even selected for the top five this season, win the Final Four MVP title?
He already has a big advance - Andulo's big victory basket in the semi-final against Olympiacos.
Another good game tonight and his team's win and he's probably settled on the prestigious title.

At the end of the big season he had last year he was supposed to move to the best league in the world and sign in Oklahoma, but surprised and stayed at Andulo.
The question now is whether he will make this move this summer.
A second win in a row may push him to look for new records.

And finally: Pablo Lasso's big dilemma.
One of the moves that brought the shock that brought Real out of the crisis was the removal of the staff of Trey Tompkins and Thomas Hartl.
Two excellent players that Lasso did not like their approach.
Without the two it worked great.
Although they are with the team but do not play for a long time.
In the first minute of the semi-final, opening quarterback Nigel Williams Goss was injured, finished the game and will not play tonight.
The big question now is, does Lasso return the squad to the squad after a long time because he needs another coordinator in light of the heavy load placed on Sergio Yui's shoulders.
And maybe he will continue on the same line and go with the same staff that brought the team back from the crisis to the Euroleague final.
The answers?
in the evening.
