EuroLeague spectacle in Madrid: Real Madrid welcomes ambitious Dubai

The European basketball elite returns to Madrid at the very beginning of the new year, and Round 19 of the EuroLeague brings a duel that will attract the attention of fans across the continent. On January 2, 2026, at 20:45 in the WiZink Center, Real Madrid welcomes Dubai, the newest and most exotic project in the competition, in a match that could significantly influence the fight for the playoffs in the 2025/2026 season. The host enters this meeting with a 10–7 record and a current place in the upper part of the standings, while Dubai is at 9–9 and on the threshold of the play-in zone, making this clash a direct collision of ambitions between the old continental giant and a debutant who wants to prove that they belong at the very top. Precisely this combination of tradition and the new wave makes the match an ideal opportunity for everyone who wants to experience the highest level of European club basketball live – ticket sales are in full swing, and it is expected that tickets for this event will be especially sought after by both the Madrid audience and guests from all over Europe. If you want to start the year with a sports experience to remember, plan an evening at the WiZink Center and secure your tickets on time, because as the first tip-off approaches, interest in buying tickets grows by the hour.

Standings, statistics and stakes: a duel for a calmer continuation of the season

Ahead of Round 19, Real Madrid and Dubai come to Madrid with very concrete goals and a clear picture in the EuroLeague table. After 17 games played, Real is at a record of 10 wins and 7 losses, which keeps them around the middle of the playoff zone, with an impressive 7–1 at home and statistics that say they still look like one of the most reliable hosts in Europe on their own floor. Dubai, on the other hand, is at 9–9 after 18 games, where a clear difference is seen between performances in front of a home crowd and away – a very convincing performance at home and only a few wins on European away games, which turns this match in Madrid into a kind of maturity test for the new EuroLeague franchise. The numbers further emphasize the teams' styles: Real has so far scored more than 1400 points with a positive point difference, while Dubai, although playing attractively on offense and scoring a lot of baskets, concedes slightly more than they score, so their results often go into uncertain finishes. That is precisely why the duel in the WiZink Center will be particularly intriguing – the host wants to confirm the status of favorite and consolidate their position in the upper house, while the guests seek a victory with which they would make a big leap towards places leading to the playoffs, so it is logical that tickets for this meeting are increasingly sought after among fans who want to watch live a clash with a direct impact on the table.

Real Madrid: deep roster, Scariolo's vision and the power of the home court

Real Madrid enters this season in a new but very recognizable guise: on the bench is the experienced Sergio Scariolo, one of the most decorated European coaches, and the team has been additionally strengthened to remain in the circle of candidates for the Final Four. Refreshments on the roster like Trey Lyles, Chuma Okeke, Gabriele Procida and David Kramer strengthen the depth in all lines, while the backbone is still made up of stars like Facundo Campazzo, Sergio Llull and Edy Tavares, who dominates the paint in both the ACB League and the EuroLeague. This season, Theo Maledon also stands out particularly, who already in the first few rounds took the MVP award of a EuroLeague round and showed that he can take responsibility in the most important moments, which additionally complicates the job for all opponents on the perimeter positions. When added to that is that Real grinds opponents in the domestic championship in the WiZink Center, and in the EuroLeague regularly fills the arena with more than ten thousand spectators at big games, it is clear why tickets for such a duel sell out faster than usual. For fans who want to watch up close how Scariolo's philosophy, Campazzo's lucidity and Tavares' dominance in rebounding work in practice, buying tickets for this meeting via the button below is the simplest way to secure their place in the stands.

Dubai: new force from the desert, debut season and European challenge

Dubai is the newest name on the EuroLeague map and a club that brings a completely different story to Madrid than the traditional European giants. Founded in 2023 and having grown into a serious regional player through the ABA League already in the first years of existence, the club received an invitation to the EuroLeague as part of the competition's expansion to 20 teams, along with a multi-year contract that confirms how much the organization wants to remain at the highest level long-term. The roster is assembled to combine experience and attractiveness: Džanan Musa, Davis Bertans, Dwayne Bacon, Filip Petrušev and a series of other players with EuroLeague and NBA experience make up the backbone of the attack, while the team is led by Jurica Golemac, a coach who has already proven that he knows how to work with ambitious projects. It is particularly interesting that Musa now comes to Madrid as the leader of a new team, on the floor where he recently wore the Real jersey, so his performance will have an additional emotional dimension for the home audience as well. Considering that the club from Dubai in its first EuroLeague season has already managed to reach a balance of wins and losses and show that it can beat traditional giants, the meeting in the WiZink Center is perceived as an opportunity to confirm its seriousness and further growth, so it is not surprising that the arrival of visiting fans is also expected, who will this time, with timely ticket purchase and organization of accommodation for fans on the day of the match, use Madrid as an ideal destination for a sports trip.

Tactical showdown: Real's control of rhythm against Dubai's offensive explosion

On the floor, a very interesting tactical duel is expected in which Real Madrid will try to impose a controlled rhythm and play from structure, while Dubai will seek its chance through offensive diversity and the ability to quickly punish every mistake in defense. Scariolo will, by all accounts, rely on the recognizable combination of pick and roll between Campazzo and Tavares, with Lyles and Okeke spreading out and opening space for the guards' drives, while veterans like Llull and Hezonja can always take shooting responsibility in key moments. On the other hand, Dubai has a series of players who can ignite the game in one period – Musa is capable of taking over an entire quarter with a series of points, Bertans opens space for others' drives with his shot, and the center line with tall and strong players can punish any weak closing of the paint. Defensively, Real will have to carefully defend transition and the three-point shot, while Dubai will try to throw the host out of rhythm with aggressive switches and changes of defensive schemes. All this means that spectators in the WiZink Center probably face a game full of tactical adjustments, runs and turnarounds, which is why tickets for this duel are an extremely valuable ticket into the very core of modern EuroLeague basketball, even if your primary motive is enjoying a pure, offensively oriented spectacle.

DĹľanan Musa between two worlds: the face of the Dubai project and a known name in Madrid

One of the stories that make this match particularly attractive is the return of DĹľanan Musa to Madrid, this time in the role of leader of Dubai Basket. The Bosnian-Herzegovinian shooter in the Real jersey has already shown that he can be one of the deadliest offensive players in Europe, and now, after moving to a new project, he symbolizes the ambition of the club from Dubai to attack high goals immediately in the first EuroLeague season. Musa knows the arena, the dimensions of the floor, the way the Madrid audience breathes during the game, but also the defensive habits of numerous former teammates excellently, which could bring the guests a strategic advantage in some one-on-one situations. On the other hand, precisely this fact gives an additional charge to the home fans, who will want to see how their former favorite reacts in a different jersey and whether Real's defense will be able to slow him down without double-teaming and opening too much space for the rest of the Dubai roster. All together makes this duel emotionally richer, and for fans who want to follow every Musa dribble, facial expression and reaction of the stands up close, buying tickets and securing a seat in the WiZink Center becomes almost a mandatory item in planning the start of 2026.
