More: European Basketball Clasico tests Barca and Real Madrid’s biggest fears.
A basketball Clasico always attracts attention, and its impact multiplies even more when it comes to a EuroLeague matchup. Barcelona and Real Madrid will face each other this Thursday afternoon (8:45 p.m. CET, Palau Blaugrana) in a duel that both teams approach without being in top form.
The highlight of this match is the recent signing made by the Catalans this week. Brazilian point guard Raúl Neto arrived in the Catalan capital to compensate for the significant loss of Nico Laprovittola, giving him a great opportunity to make his debut for Barça.
Barça enter this match with marked irregularity in their recent encounters, having managed to win only two of their last five matches in European competition. This caused them to lose many places in the rankings.
Additionally, Peñarroya’s team is aware that they need to tighten up their defense against Real Madrid today, as they have conceded an average of over 100 points in their last three games, making it very difficult to ensure victories.
