Bartzokas said: “The best moments of our careers are priceless. One of those is having the opportunity to play in a final, especially against a great club like Real Madrid. It will be a real battle, as it has always been in the past. We are excited. I do not need to hide it. We believe we deserve to be here. Of course, Real Madrid deserve the same as well.
