In the final EuroLeague match of the year, Real Madrid is determined to secure a victory. This game marks an important moment as the team seeks to conclude their European competition for 2025 on a high note with an away win. The matchup against Scariolo's squad will take place at the Salle Gaston Médecin in Monaco at 7:30 PM CET.
As they enter matchday 18 of the tournament, the Madridistas are eager to achieve their 11th victory of the season, which would help them ascend the rankings. Monaco, too, finds itself in a comparable situation; currently holding a record of 10 wins and 7 losses, they occupy the sixth spot in the standings, three places ahead of Real Madrid.
Looking ahead, after this encounter, Real Madrid will have two more matches before the year concludes. Both will be Liga Endesa games: first, they'll host Unicaja at home on Sunday, and then they will ring in the new year with a visit to UCAM Murcia. This busy schedule unfolds over a mere five days, leaving no time for rest for Scariolo’s team.
