Olympiacos achieves historic comeback against Valencia in Euroleague

On October 13, 2026, Olympiacos BC secured a dramatic victory against Valencia at the Roig Arena during the fifth round of the Euroleague. The match began poorly for the Greek team, which failed to score for the first four and a half minutes and fell behind by as many as 28 points. Despite the difficult start and a deficit that persisted throughout much of the first half, Olympiacos managed to rally and eventually force the game into overtime, ultimately winning the contest.

Key contributors to the victory included Evan Fournier, who scored 23 points and provided 4 assists, alongside significant efforts from Ignas Brazdeikis. This comeback is considered one of the largest point differentials ever overturned in Euroleague history. Following the match, Fournier highlighted the team's resilience, noting that they had to lose their identity to rediscover it. This result serves as a major turnaround for the Piraeus club following their recent domestic struggle against Kolossos, where they won 99-83 despite a lackluster third quarter, and their previous Euroleague loss to Virtus Bologna.
