Barça-Alba de Berlin Euroleague: Chronicle, Result and Goalscorers

“Our players fought very well in the second half. The defense showed us the way. The season is very long. Being in the top four doesn’t guarantee anything, but it’s better,” analyzed Saras. The Lithuanian coach, who scrapped Oriol Paulí, Sergi Martínez and James Nnaji, tried to reconnect Kyle Kuric. The American escort was the starter and finished with 7 points. Sertaç Sanli was the most outstanding local player with 12 points, 6 rebounds, 2 blocks and 2 recoveries. “We played well and showed our character,” summarized the Turkish pivot.

The game Barça played in Belgrade on Tuesday conditioned the game of a Blaugrana side that needed time to find the tone they needed against Alba de Berlin with less pressure on the result. The German rival dominated the scoreboard with six points (24-30). The Catalan team’s reaction was not immediate.

Alba de Berlin could only score 10 points in 14 minutes and their chances of victory were dwindling at the Palau Blaugrana. The local difference grew to 17 points (62-45). Failures in the basic position became a thorn in the side of the German team.

“It was impossible for us to shine, but we played seriously. There are many factors that affect performance, but we’ve been knocking on the door for years,” recalled Jasikevicius, who sees Barça as one of the contenders for the title
