"Bayern is a very athletic and strong team. We'll need to make a great physical effort if we want to win. They have improved a lot, they shoot the ball well from the outside and can attack the rim aggressively", Laso said during the press conference.

Real Madrid will be without several players, including long-time injured Anthony Randolph, Trey Thompkins and guards Nigel Williams-Goss and Carlos Alocen.

"When we returned from Russia, Carlos had back issues", Laso explained. "He has an inflammatory process so he needs to stop for a few days until he recovers from this situation".

Coach Laso gave an update about the situation of Trey Thompkins: "In two or three weeks he might return, he can train but he's not ready to play yet".

Real Madrid's head coach also talked about Juan Nunez, the 17-year-old point guard who's starting to gain some minutes in the rotations.

"I'm very happy with Juan. I believe he has a lot of talent. He still has a lot to learn but I see him playing well every day and sometimes I'm mad at myself for not giving him more minutes. I don't know if he'll play against Bayern".
