This Monday, the appeal judge approved the suspension of Facundo Campazzo for one match. that the Euroleague imposed a penalty on him for contempt of the referees (Article 27.2.b) in the match against Bayern, corresponding to the 1st day of the maximum continental tournament and played on October 3.
The ruling follows an appeal filed by Madrid last week. allowed the Argentine point guard to play with caution against Partizan Belgrade on the 2nd day, October 10 last year, at the WiZink Center of the Community of Madrid.
The sanction is a huge problem for Chus Mateo, who will not be able to count on the Argentine in the Euroleague on Tuesday, October 15, at the Buesa Arena in Vitoria against Pablo Laso’s Baskonia at a moment of extreme sensitivity for the team.
In official matches, Real demonstrates a 3-4 balance.. The Whites have not yet won on the road, having lost three matches between the Endesa League (Coruña and Bilbao) and the Euroleague (Munich). If we add the Murcia Super Cup, the result will be 1-4 (win over Barça, loss against Unicaja). This is their worst start to the season since 2003, when the Whites started 2-3 with Julio Lamas on the bench.
The Madrid coach was also left without clean bases for Vitoria: In addition to Campazzo’s sanction is added the long-term injury of Andres Feliz, about five weeks, due to a tear in the plantar fascia of his right foot. Sergio Llull will have to play even more minutes in his old position. with Xavier Ratan-Mayes and even Alberto Abalde giving a break.
The Albiceleste national team player will return two days later, on Thursday the 17th, to welcome Panathinaikos to the re-release of the 2024 EuroLeague Finals. The Greeks won 80–95 to claim their seventh continental trophy, their first in 13 years.
Sanction

With 17 seconds left, Lucic made two free throws to make the score 92-89. Madrid still had a chance to force extra time. Campazzo hit a triple from the left attacking zone, counting more on a foul than on success..
When no sanctions were imposed for this hypothetical violation, the Albiceleste national team player became angry and spoke in a very rude manner to the referees, who He was assessed a technical foul and then a disqualifying foul..
