BAXI Manresa tests its improvement at the Palau Blaugrana

After a narrow victory in Turkey, BAXI Manresa has a relatively short trip to the league. He visits the Palau Blaugrana, where Barça awaits him, who are playing a Euroleague match tonight. Pedro Martínez's men do not have any major injuries, although they will be without one of their players to rest in a physically demanding month of March.

Although BAXI Manresa has chained together 3 consecutive victories, it is time to make one of the most demanding visits in the calendar. The Reds visit Barça at a good time and want to continue to show that they can compete on any court. The team needs wins in the league, but also needs to show a good competitive level ahead of the crucial games ahead.

Barça play this evening in Istanbul, on the same track where BAXI Manresa won on Wednesday. The Culers, a team well known for their quality, lost at Zaragoza on the last day of the league. Laprovittola leads the team's statistical leaders, followed by Cory Higgins and Nikola Mirotic. A team of stars who will have to stand up.

Pedro Martínez said in the press conference before the derby that «we would like to compete, because it is what we want to do, and hopefully we will achieve it, but the opponent is very good; we need to dose the team a little, we have to play with all the players to have physical freshness; we need to be more stable mentally and emotionally, but victories bring joy, even though there were minutes when we played badly».
