FC Barcelona suffers an unexpected defeat against Virtus Bologna, moving away from their goals in a match they seemed to control.
A surprising stumble
Xavi Pascual's team fails to recover after the Copa del Rey and falls to Virtus Bologna by 85-80. Kevin Punter stands out as the top scorer for the Blaugrana with 27 points, but it's not enough to prevent the loss. Lapro and Shengelia contribute, while Clyburn and Brizuela fail to score. On the Italian side, Carsen Edwards leads with 22 points, supported by Smailagic.
An up and down game
Despite a promising start, Barça fades as the game progresses, recovering late in the final quarter. Although they manage to close the gap on the scoreboard, a late surge from Virtus deprives them of victory, adding another defeat to their record.
