Real Madrid-Valencia Basket, Barça-Unicaja, Iberostar Tenerife-Hereda San Pablo Burgos and TD Systems Baskonia-Joventut Badalona are the pairings in the Copa del Rey basketball, which will be played at the WiZink Center in Madrid between days 11 and 14 February and in which there would be no Clásico until a hypothetical final, since whites and Catalans go through different parts of the table.

In the prelude to the return of the tournament to the Spanish capital two years after the controversial final of 2019, and still with the unknown whether there may be a public in the big, the draw ruled as soon as a great confrontation began between two Euroleague clubs .

Thus, Real Madrid, leader of the Endesa League and defender of the title, and Valencia Basket will meet on Thursday 11 in a crossroads that could perfectly be the final, as already happened in Vitoria 2017. It will be a special day for Alberto Abalde and Klemen Prepelic, who will face their respective former teams.

The 'taronja' team already knows what it's like to win this season at the WiZink Center, since in October they clearly won the Euroleague duel (77-93), although Real Madrid later took revenge in the Endesa League ( 78-86).

The winner of this crossing will be measured in the semifinals with Iberostar Tenerife or Hereda San Pablo Burgos, surely the two clubs that have grown the most in recent years in Spanish basketball to the point of winning European titles.

The previous league, played last month on Canarian soil, smiled at the local team (84-79).

THE BARÇA BEGINS AGAINST THE SUBCHAMPION

In the other part of the table, which will be played in its entirety on Friday 12, Barça, which last year succumbed was the great disappointment when saying goodbye in the quarterfinals against Valencia Basket, will try to take it out against Unicaja, the current runner-up.

The Andalusian team, which is going through a moment of doubts after having four defeats in the Endesa League but still has time to rebuild, fell in this season's duel against the Barça club, played in September at Martín Carpena (70-79).

In addition, TD Systems Baskonia will face Joventut Badalona with revenge, the team that two years ago eliminated them in their last participation with a historic performance by now Madrid player

Nico Laprovittola

.

The 'Penya' also conquered the last league duel last October (83-82), resolved with a triple by

Ferran Bassas

on the horn.
