He Unicaja learned this Monday, a month before the competition, what the quarterfinal rival in the Copa del Rey de Málaga 2024. Chance at the Picasso Museum has led to the Lenovo Tenerife be the first rival that crosses the path of the people of Malaga, who will try to make the ‘green tide’ dream at the Martín Carpena.
Is he intimate enemy par excellence of the modern era of the Los Guindos club. One of the teams that has had the hardest time winning and with which there is that aroma of history after raising the second cup trophy in the history of Unicaja to the sky of Badalona, almost 12 months ago. It is one of those rivals that have already been marked and that appears again in an edition as special as Málaga 2024. However, they have been very close to being left out because They qualified on the last day, with 9 wins and 9 losses.

Renewed equipment
The truth is that this Tenerife de Txus Vidorreta will have little to do with the one that inaugurated the Endesa League at the Martín Carpena. After a first round with innumerable doubts, they have been reinforced with Kyle Guy and in recent days they have incorporated Excajista Ilimane Diop. However, there are things that will never change and one of them is the absolute dominance in their game by Marcelinho Huertas and Giorgi Shermadinikeys in that rebirth to be in the Malaga Cup.

A staff with six former composers
Now, to understand this healthy rivalry formed in recent years between Unicaja and Tenerife you only have to look at the aurinegra squad. Up to six former cajistas will visit the Martín Carpena to face the hosts of the tournament: Jaime Fernandez, Diop, Edgar Vice, Sasu Salin. Shermadini and Tim Abromaitis. A duel that already had six games last year and that is on track to repeat this season in all competitions.
In short, a great game without a clear favorite and with the memory of Badalona’s dream, with which the entire city sighs again.
