Virtus Bologna-Real Madrid, one starter at risk of forfeit

Real Madrid è the best team in the entire Euroleague

Real Madrid, that is the best team in the entire Euroleague, arrives in Bologna. It is a fascinating challenge for the Black Vs who are aiming for the great feat. Out of 28 games played so far, the blancos have lost only six times. Virtus Bologna aims, dragged by its public, to bring home a victory that would be worth a lot, both in terms of prestige and ranking.

"È one of the most complicated games of the season. Hosting the European champions and leaders in the standings means having to show our best version to contain the’impact of such a’structured, experienced and spectacular roster. We are expecting another night of great basketball, to be honored with a courageous performance", the words of coach Banchi on the eve of the match.

There'è one problem. At the moment, the presence of Hackett è is at risk. The Black Vs playmaker è is struggling with a severe knee contusion. The feeling è that he will grit his teeth and be in the game also because è no one wants to miss the big match with the highly rated Real Madrid. Problems also for coach Mateo who will have to give up Causeur, Rudy Fernandez and Chacho Rodriguez.
