Height duel

The team welcomes Madrid with the unconditional support of Fontajau after winning the first three games (Sunday, 18:30 h)

First Team | Saturday, 07 October 2023

Girona Basketball will host Real Madrid, reigning Euroleague champions, this Sunday in Fontajau (6:30 p.m.) after a very positive start on the court and on the scoreboard. The Madrid team has just beaten Baskonia by the minimum on Friday away from home on the opening day of the top continental competition.

The team led by Chus Mateo retains most of the backbone that made them champions of Europe, with the addition of the talented Facundo Campazzo in the direction of the game. His internal reference Tavares is doubt for the party.

Pre-match statements  (watch the previous press conference here )

Salva Camps: “The dismissal of Tavares? They are the best team in Europe and, in addition, they have brought in players who have raised their level like Facundo Campazzo. Even if they’re missing one or two players, I don’t think it’s a very important condition to play. “

Yves Pons: “We don’t pay too much attention to who will be available or not in our opponent. We try to compete as best we can and focus on what we do every day beyond who the opposing team is missing. “
