PREVIEW & TIPS Real Madrid VS Anadolu Efes
Real Madrid needed Tavares for this tie, and even if he arrives, it will be necessary to see in what conditions. The Whites have not only lost both games in Turkey, but have also shown that they feel outnumbered by Efes in attack and defense, with scores that are too high and do not invite optimism.
