The 2025 EuroLeague Final will be Fenerbahce vs. Monaco at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi, as the Principality’s team delivered a commanding 78-68 win over Olympiacos. In what felt like poetic justice, Vassilis Spanoulis\u2014now coaching Monaco\u2014dismantled the very club that helped define his legendary playing career. He now prepares to face a former teammate, Fenerbahce\u2019s Sarunas Jasikevicius, in the title game.<\/p>\n
Olympiacos, the regular season\u2019s top seed, once again fell victim to the EuroLeague\u2019s \u201cNew Era\u201d rule\u2014number ones don\u2019t win titles. Despite 31 points from Evan Fournier and 12 from Nigel Williams-Goss, the Reds never found their rhythm. Monaco countered with 22 points and 6 rebounds from Alpha Diallo, 17 points, 7 rebounds, and 7 assists from Mike James, and 12 points from Jaron Blossomgame.<\/p>\n
After a 17-17 opening quarter, Monaco edged ahead 35-32 by halftime behind James’ playmaking and Diallo\u2019s activity. In the third, they extended their lead beyond double digits before Fournier cut it to 51-57. But the fourth quarter belonged to Monaco, who surged again with Jaiteh and James combining to crush Olympiacos’ final hopes.<\/p>\n
Diallo\u2019s and-one at 2:35 for a 72-61 lead sealed it. A late steal and dunk only confirmed the inevitable: Monaco is marching to its first-ever EuroLeague final.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
