The Spar Girona

Spar Girona comes into the match after the defeat against Galatasaray, remaining in the top positions of Group E.

The Girona team prepared for the match knowing how difficult the challenge will be and Roberto Íñiguez pointed out that “the keys will be very similar to those here. Don’t let them play too disciplined, control their shooting and rebounding very well. Try to make the best attack possible. If we’re not good up front, whether in the open field, with bad shots or turnovers, they punish them a lot at home. It’s a very complicated court. This year they have a very powerful team and they’re playing very hard.”
