It might be a case of first plays fourth but the form book goes out of the window on occasions like these. Madrid's 18 wins and 10 loses won't matter an awful lot when they face their big rivals in this Final Four match in Belgrade. Los Merengues were convincing in their 3-0 whitewash of Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv in the previous round. Will that bring them the added confidence they need to shoot for their 11th EuroLeague title?
Barca will need to shut down Madrid's leading points scorer, French forward Guerschon Yabusele, if they've hopes to progress. They'll also need to get hold of their nerve. The Catalans have made it to the Final Four on 15 occasions but only won the championship twice. Twenty-one wins and seven losses in the regular season isn't a world away from their opponent's record but can they show their extra class when it counts?
This 2022 EuroLeague Final Four semi-final tips off at 8pm BST (9pm CEST) on Thursday 19th May. Make sure you know how to watch a Barcelona vs Real Madrid free live stream wherever you are in the world.
