Facundo Campazzo immediately showcased his comfort in the Real Madrid jersey upon his return, securing two trophies right away.
One was a team trophy awarded to the Super Cup winners, while he also claimed the individual award for the Most Valuable Player (MVP) of the opening competition of the new season.
In the semifinals, Real Madrid defeated Barcelona with a score of 90:80. In that match, the Argentine playmaker contributed 17 points and four assists. It’s worth noting that he and Dzanan Musa were the “X-factor” in the crucial moments when the Madrid team decided the match.
In the final against Unicaja, Real Madrid emerged victorious in a dramatic back-and-forth battle with a score of 88:81. This time, the Argentine point guard scored 19 points and was the top scorer for his team.
“I’m happy to be back; I feel like I never left. The players are the same, similar style of play, the same jokes within the team, so I’m enjoying it, and the adaptation is going very quickly. My job is to read the situation I’m in and see which of my teammates is in good form. I want to make my teammates happy and command from defense to offense. That’s the most important thing,” said Facundo Campazzo earlier today.

In this manner, the “Royal Club” continued its dominance in this competition. A fact that supports this claim is that this marks the sixth consecutive time that Real Madrid starts the new season with the Super Cup trophy.
When looking at the historical records, this is the milestone tenth Spanish Super Cup title for the team from the Spanish capital.
