Surne Bilbao will face the PAOK Thessaloniki in the Bilbao Arena in Miribilla today in the return match of the FIBA Europa Cup final of the 2025-2026 season, with the aim of winning by at least seven points, to go back to last week's result in Greece and add a European title for the second time in a row.
Palataki's result was 79-73, so all options are open; unlike 2025, the final will be decided in Miribilla, that is, in front of about 10,000 Surne Bilbao fans.
Playing at home, in itself, could be an advantage for Surne Bilbao, but Jaume Ponsarnau's team will have to manage the anxiety well. The opponent is very solid; in the semi-finals, he left UCAM Murcia out of the competition and in Murcia, on the return, defended the same result, 79-73.
Base Breein Tyree and escort Patrick Beverley scored 43 points between them on the way out, which are the most dangerous players in the PAOK Thessaloniki attack. In Greece, Surne Bilbao squeezed for a few minutes in the game, now Ponsarnau has all the players available and will have to leave one out of the call.
If the goal were to materialize, Surne Bilbao would win the title for the second time in arow, which no one has done so far, in the history of the tournament, the FIBA Europa Cup began to be played eleven years ago. The club will install a "fanzone" from 18:00 and the players of the Bizkaia team will arrive at the Bilbao Arena between 17:30 and 18:30.
