Real Madrid player and national team member Ömer Faruk Yurtseven, who will face Greece's Olympiakos in the EuroLeague final, stated that the match will be a fierce and intense battle. Due to transfer rules, Yurtseven cannot play in the playoffs. However, he spoke with AA reporter at the Telekom Center in Athens, where Real Madrid is training for the final. Yurtseven expressed his excitement, saying, "Everyone here believes we deserve to win. We know we want to win. On one hand, no one expected us to beat Valencia and reach the final. I think that whoever is expected to win will end up losing. On the other hand, I truly believe in our totem. I am excited. Everyone fought hard to get here. Tomorrow will be a very fierce and intense game."

Key Factors for the Final

Yurtseven also touched on the key factors for the final, saying, "We'll see a lot of different things. Both sides will try different things. Our team's tall players are injured, so I don't know if they'll keep trying to go inside with Milutinov. But whatever they do, we've tried to prepare a countermeasure. We also have positions where we can take advantage of our shorter stature."

Excitement About His New Team

This season, Yurtseven moved from Panathinaikos AKTOR to Real Madrid, after a stint with the NBA's Golden State Warriors. He expressed his excitement about this new chapter, saying, "I'm excited. I believe every moment of life has a different taste. Being here and playing for such a great team is a big opportunity. I'm just focusing on the good moments of this experience."
