After regaining morale with a victory in the first match of the Top 16 phase in the BCL, BAXI Manresa will be tested in the visit of Real Madrid to the Nou Congost. The team has one of the greats in front of them and will have all their available players, except for Matthias Tass, who is out of the call-up. Babatunde Olumuyiwa and Adam Waczynski are still recovering from their respective injuries.
For their part, the whites arrive at Bages after having defeated Barça in a Euroleague match, in a match that was decided in extra time. No introduction is needed for a team that every season has a spectacular squad. Names like Tavares, Llull, Musa, Hezonja and a long et cetera are well known to our fans.
Pedro Martínez spoke before the duel on Sunday and said that «we are having the discomforts that we normally have when many matches are played; it is difficult to play against a team with such physical height; we need to score from outside, play with rhythm, rebound so as not to give second options; we need to play hard and with effort, and if there is an opportunity, take advantage of it».
