Real Madrid are in action this evening at the Antonio Rivilla arena in Puertollano in the V Luis Casimiro Trophy against UCAM Murcia 7:30 pm CET, Realmadrid TV. This will be the third and final warm-up match for Chus Mateo’s side before the season gets underway with the semi-finals of the Endesa Super Cup Saturday 24, 6:30 pm CET. The Whites go into the clash on the back of clinching a sixth Costa del Sol Tournament, with victories over Unicaja de Málaga 91-98 and Zalgiris Kaunas 89-81. The madridistas will contest the Super Cup shortly, but must first face one more friendly, which will be in front of a sell-out crowd, as the team continues with its preparation for the new campaign.
The side has produced two good performances in both warm-up games, despite only having half the senior first-team squad available. Sergio Rodríguez, Musa and Tavares were the stand-out players for Madrid, who were bolstered by six academy players that were decisive in both victories. Chus Mateo welcomes back Hezonja for this clash. The Croation small forward joined up with the squad in training this week after playing in the Eurobasket.

The opposition
UCAM Murcia go into the matchup having played more friendlies, and this will be their fifth warm-up game. Sito Alonso’s side have been busy in the transfer market and have strengthened their squad especially in the paint, to join up with Radovic. Diop, Sakho, Pustovyi and Luther have been drafted in to play on the inside. While the talented Jelinek and EuroLeague winner Anderson will line up along with McFadden, Davis and Bellas on the outside, without forgetting the sharpshooter Trice and former Madrid academy product Klavzar.
