MADRID (Reuters) - Euroleague favourites Real Madrid must stifle inspirational Olympiakos Piraeus playmaker Vassilis Spanoulis if they are to beat the Greek side in Sunday’s final, coach Pablo Laso said.

The clash will be a repeat of the 2013 showdown in London’s O2 Arena, when Spanoulis scored all his 22 points in the second half to help Olympiakos to a memorable 100-88 win.
