Barcelona head coach Svetislav Pesic spoke with Mundo Deportivo ahead of the classic derby between the Catalans and the “Whites” (13/12).

Here is what the experienced coach told the Spanish newspaper: 

“They have players with quality to play in the NBA. It’s essential that they don’t make points in transition. We have to control the rebounds. It won’t be easy, but we have our game plan.”

Real Madrid currently is second in the standings, at 9-2, whereas Barcelona is seventh, at 6-5.
