The beginning of this new season brought attention to reigning EuroLeague champions Real Madrid. Los Blancos have amazing depth in their roster and even added Facundo Campazzo. It will be a huge task for all the other clubs to overcome them.

In recent EuroLeague history, one of the constants that shows up almost every year is that whoever wants to win the title must fight with Real Madrid.

In the last 10 years, the Spanish team has been absent from the Final Four on only two occasions, in Berlin in 2016 and Cologne in 2021.

On these 8 occasions, Real became the champions three times, including last season's Final Four victory in Kaunas.

This offseason, we have seen remarkable changes around Europe. Panathinaikos completely turned over its roster and put the team in the hands of Ergin Ataman, one of the most successful coaches around.

However, after a winning season, Real Madrid chose the path of continuity. The basic structure of the team has remained almost identical to last season.

The only real addition to this year's roster is Facundo Campazzo, who fills the gaps evident at point guard last season.

Walter Tavares' contract expires in June 2024. The Blancos are trying to extend the deal, but as of today
