Closing of the double Christmas session at La Fonteta with the visit of FC Barcelona in Euroleague

22/12/2022

Valencia Basket men’s team returns to La Fonteta ten days after their victory against Panathinaikos Athens to close a Friday of basketball at home to face a new commitment of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague against FC Barcelona (Friday 23, 20:30 hours, Fonteta, DAZN/Movistar+ dial 65) in a round 15 game of the top continental competition.

 

The Taronja team will put its good offensive moment to the test (three victories in the last four games with an average of 100 points scored) against the best defense in the Euroleague, since Barça is not only the team that receives the fewest points, but also the that causes worse shooting percentages in its rivals.

 

It will be the fourth visit of FC Barcelona to La Fonteta in a European competition game (balance of 1-2 favorable to the Catalans) on a night in which a special Christmas animation has been prepared and a preview so that the fans can stay in L 'Alqueria del Basket in the time between the previous LF Endesa and this Turkish Airlines EuroLeague games.

 

In the Endesa League precedent played just under two months ago, the blaugrana team won 80-92.

 

Long-term injured players Millán Jiménez, Sam Van Rossom and Martin Hermannsson still sidelined, although the other thirteen players are available to play the game and the coach Álex Mumbrú will decide the final roster in the moments before the tip-off

 

Valencia Basket remains at the beginning of this round located in the 12th position with a balance of 6-8.
