The Whites will play Fenerbahçe in the semi-finals on 15 May.

After eliminating Anadolu Efes in the play-off stages of the Euroleague (3-1), Real Madrid now know who they will face in the semi-finals of the 2015 Final Four that will take place between 15 and 17 May at the Palacio. They will play Fenerbahçe Ulker, who are managed by the former Madrid coach Zeljko Obradovic, and who will go into their first Final Four after beating Maccabi (3-0).

One of the best teams on the continent is the penultimate obstacle standing between Madrid and their ninth title. Led by the manager who helped Madrid to win their eighth league title, Fenerbahçe came second in the Group Stage (8-2) and Top Top 16 (11-3), before defeating Maccabi in three games.
Obradovic trains a side full of stars.
They have a large squad where Goudelock, Bogdan Bogdanovic, Nemanja Bjelica and Vesely stand out. Between them, those four players score 50 of the side's average of 81 points per game in the Euroleague. The team is completed by a quality and experienced second line of players with Zisis, Preldzic and the centres Erden, Savas and Zoric. Hickman will be out due to injury.

A positive record for Real Madrid
Both sides have faced each other ten times in the history of the Euroleague, and the Whites have a favourable record with 9 wins and one defeat. The sides have not met since the 2012-14 season when Madrid won at the Palacio during the Group Stage (77-61).
