ATHENS. Evan Fournier was named MVP of the 2026 EuroLeague Final Four after leading Olympiacos to the continental championship with a brilliant performance throughout the weekend at the Telekom Center Athens. The French shooting guard was the offensive catalyst for the Greek team in both the semifinals and the final against Real Madrid, securing the club's first European trophy since 2013.
The veteran French wing, who returned to European basketball after a lengthy career in the NBA, took center stage at the most important moment of the season. His impact was consistent across both Final Four games, providing leadership, scoring, and control in the decisive moments.
In the semifinal against Fenerbahce Beko, Fournier recorded 10 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists in 24 minutes, proving to be a key piece in Olympiacos' offensive balance. However, it was in the final against Real Madrid where he sealed his MVP candidacy. The French shooting guard led his team with 20 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal in over 26 minutes on the court, proving to be the most decisive player of the game.
Additionally, Fournier closed out the Final Four by stringing together five consecutive games scoring in double figures, a testament to the consistency he maintained throughout the decisive stretch of the season.
His leadership and ability to step up in moments of maximum pressure ultimately proved decisive for Olympiacos to claim the fourth EuroLeague title in club history, and doing so in Athens against the eternal rival of the red-and-white faithful.
