Baxi Manresa-Real Madrid: first La Liga away game
Chus Mateo's side visits the Nou Congost tonight in search of their second win (9:00pm CET).
Real Madrid faces two league games in less than 48 hours. Today, we face Baxi Manresa at the Nou Congost in our first league game. And on Sunday, we close the week with the Clásico at the WiZink Center. And all this with the start of the Euroleague on the horizon, in seven days' time. But first, our team will try to get their second league win tonight after last week's great start against Casademont Zaragoza.
The game will be a good test to gauge Madrid's immaculate start to the season. Three wins including the Super Cup title with an average of 93 points scored and 77 conceded, and a +16 advantage. Figures that reflect the team's good performances, who have won all their games with authority. Chus Mateo's team finished the first matchday as leaders thanks to their victory over Casademont Zaragoza by 31 points 101-70, the biggest difference in their league debut in the last 10 seasons.

Baxi Manresa is a dangerous and highly competitive opponent. Although they lost in Las Palmas in the first game, they won three of the four quarters and only a slip in the third quarter prevented them from winning 97-92. With regard to last year, Pedro Martínez's team has lost top scorer Harding, but the point guard Brandon Taylor has come in. They also have players such as Dani Pérez, Robinson, Steinbergs, Vaulet and Geben, among others. The latter three provide them with great versatility on the inside, which is one of their biggest strengths.

Madrid have shown in these early stages of the season that they are a very solid and cohesive team. Anyone can take on the role of leader. Against Casademont Zaragoza, eight players scored in double figures. And in the Supercopa against Barça and Unicaja, 5. Today we will also face the pressure of the Nou Congost, a very demanding court but one that has been good for us so far. The madridistas have won every game played there since the 1998/99 season. Most recently, last year by 69-94 with Musa at the helm. Tonight, we intend to extend that streak.
