After the sanction imposed by the Euroleague on Real Madrid's point guard, Facundo Campazzo, due to his fierce protests towards the referees, the White club has decided to appeal the one-game suspension to the Appeal Judge of the competition.

The decision on the appeal was expected for Thursday, hours before the match against Partizan Belgrade at the WiZink Center. However, for now, Campazzo will be able to play in the game, as confirmed by the Euroleague through an official statement.

Euroleague's Statement


“Following the appeal presented by Real Madrid regarding the sanction imposed on Facundo Campazzo for actions that constitute a lack of respect towards the referees during the match against Bayern Munich, the Appeals Judge has granted the provisional measure of suspension of the sanction. As a result, Campazzo is authorized to participate in Euroleague competitions until the appeal is definitively resolved.”

Before this announcement, Madrid was already preparing to face Partizan without their star point guard. "Andrés Feliz, Sergio Llull, and Xavier Rathan-Mayes can play in the point guard position in case the appeal is unsuccessful and Campazzo cannot play. I won't discuss whether it's fair or not; it is what it is, and the Euroleague has made its decision. All we can do is accept it and learn from it. In any case, we may have to play without him," stated Chus Mateo, Real Madrid's coach.

With the provisional suspension in place, Campazzo's presence will be crucial in the match against Partizan. The Argentine has been Real Madrid's standout player in recent games, and his ability to control the game's pace and contribute points in critical moments will be key for the Whites to achieve their first victory in the Euroleague. His experience and leadership will be vital as the team attempts to reverse the rough start to the season.
