Last minute and result of FC Barcelona vs ASVEL Villeurbanne
Hello, good afternoon and welcome to the Euroleague. End of day 13 with a very interesting menu with this Barcelona – ASVEL Villeurbanne in the Por the Blaugrana.
If you don't find it attractive to watch this game, it's because you don't want to. Ok, the French team is the bottom of the competition and from the beginning it was seen that they have a squad that is very fair to compete in the tournament, but the match has many attractions. And two returns are going to center all the focus.
On the one hand, it is the first game of Xavi Pascual directing the Barça in it Palau Blaugrana for the first time since his departure in 2016. Nine years away from 'his' home and on his return he will surely get a huge ovation. You already know what it's like to win with your new team (in Gran Canaria against Dreamland in the Endesa League) and also what it is to lose (to the Anadolu Efes in Istanbul in the Euroleague). Now to Pascual It's his turn to debut in front of his fans.
There is another return perhaps with more morbidity: that of Thomas Heurtel al Palau. He will return as a player ASVEL Villeurbanne. The point guard already played with his team against Monaco in the last round and is one of the figures of the French team, in need of talent in a complicated season. Heurtelfor everything that happened in Barcelonathe good and the bad, will also be the subject of scrutiny in this match.
And we must not lose sight of the ultimate objective of the Barçawhich is to win and recover the path of victory after the very sudden defeat in Istanbul. To win, the Barça would enter the club of teams with eight wins in which they are already Zalgiris, Valencia and Fenerbahce.
Statistically unbalanced match, especially due to one fact: the almost 10 point difference that the Barça He scores more per game than his rival. The Blaugrana are thirteenth in the Euroleague (85.1), while the French are last with 75.6. The general balance favors Barça12-5, which has won three of the last five meetings between the two teams. This starts at 8:30 p.m. We begin.
