Jaume Ponsarnau

 

“For us there was a great difficulty, which is playing Fuenlabrada, and the one we have played against is a high-level team, which in recent games has played very well. That he did not deserve to lose on the Barça court. A team that was bad for us, more physical than us and good in the offensive rebound. I'm very happy with the first half, despite reacting late. We were off the mark on Trimble's defense, but we were solid and mentally minded, rebounding and running. In the second we started well but things have gone better for them, we got stuck with their change defense and they found Diallo. We have learned to defend them and up to that moment we have suffered a lot. Dubi has given us peace of mind to win the match by 20, but it does not reflect the difficulty of the match"

 

Martin Hermannsson

 

“I am happy to secure the fourth position, it was our goal before the game. It was a game of ups and downs, I think we did a good job responding to his career in the second half to come back and win the game. Fuenlabrada is a very physical team and it has made it difficult for us and I think it has been a good preparation for the playoff against Baskonia because of how physical the game has been "
