Okay air space? A gap? Void? Chose one. The point is you don’t want fiberglass insulation touching the concrete.

It's not recommended that you apply fiberglass insulation directly to a concrete wall. If you must use fiberglass, there needs to be a space between the insulation and the wall. If not, the place where the insulation touches the concrete will be overtaken by mold and mildew.
