Barcelona host Endesa Girona on LaLiga day seven and Marc Gasol will return to the Palau Blaugrana after 5,362 days as an opponent.
Barcelona host Girona (06/11, 18:00) on Matchday 7 of the Endesa Liga and this match is expected to have a special meaning for Marc Gasol, who will return as an opponent to the Palau Blaugrana after 14 years or more to be precise, after 5,362 days .
His younger brother Pau Gasol started his career with the Blaugrana in 2003 and wore the Barca shirt for three seasons, making a total of 59 appearances in the Spanish league.
After leaving Barcelona in 2006, he moved to Girona, where he stayed until 2008. Then he made the leap to the NBA and that’s where he counted 891 games featuring Grizzlies, Raptors and Lakers.
In 2021, Marc Gasol returned to his homeland, once again wearing the shirt of his beloved Girona, of which he has been president since 2014. Last year he managed to lift it from LEB Oro to ACB and with that he is ready to return to the place where they all started at the Palau Blaugrana.
