In a late thriller at the Wizink Center, Real Madrid endured the come-back of Fenerbahce and earned the victory in EuroLeague opener (81-77).

The “Whites” made a better start (30-21), but the Turks closed the first half down by just one (43-42).

The Spaniards extended their lead to double digits (67-55), but Fenerbahce tied the game, thanks to a 6-18 run (73-73).

Facundo Campazzo (14 points, eight assists), though, was a game changer for Real in the final minutes and helped his team seal the deal.

Four players scored in double digits for the winners, with Jeffery Taylor having a team-high 19 points.

On the other hand, Nando De Colo (22 points). Derrick Williams (19 points) and Nikola Kalinic (13 points) were the best players of the losing squad.
