The Unicaja player analyzes the Club's next European opponent. The Bosnia and Herzegovina international highlights the fighting spirit and competitiveness of the German team which, despite not having won a game in this Round of 16 of the Basketball Champions League, “never gives up and always competes until the end,” he admits.
Unicaja travels to Germany to face Fitness First Würzburg Baskets this Wednesday (7:00 PM, broadcasted by RTVE Play and Unicaja Baloncesto Radio, live from Le Grand Café Centro). A victory against the German team, which has yet to win in the BCL Round of 16, would be a crucial step towards qualifying for the quarterfinals.
The Malaga team managed to win comfortably away at CB Santfeliuenc in a match that started tightly but was broken open by Los Guindos in the second quarter. Estel Puiggros stood out as the top scorer with 19 points in just 21 minutes of play, and Sofía Galerón was the most valuable player with 26 credits.
Unicaja secured a solid victory after defeating a tough MoraBanc Andorra (91-79).

Chris Duarte was the best player of the game (18 points, 3 assists, 19 PIR) along with a sharp Justin Cobbs (17 points).
