Madrid will go to the Final Four through a small door
Real Madrid visits Hapoel Tel Aviv at the Botevgrad Arena, a minimal setting for a giant Euroleague night.

Real Madrid will play Hapoel Tel Aviv with a Final Four berth on the horizon, but the detail that alters the scene is far from the scoreboard: the match will be played at the Arena Botevgrad, a tiny Bulgarian venue for the competitive size of a EuroLeague tie. The match comes with all the weight of a big night, although the setting does not resemble the usual brilliance of the continental playoffs. The neutral venue, limited capacity and reduced scale of the pavilion promise a more closed, louder and more uncomfortable atmosphere than normal.
