Defending champions are in a precarious position at EuroBasket even before round of 16.
Spain had been predicted to be the biggest disappointment at EuroBasket 2025, and they are now dangerously close to elimination even before round of 16. They’ve lost to Italy by four points, 67-63, during Tuesday’s match at EuroBasket Group Stage. The defending champions started strong, even at 10-0 at the first quarter, but they progressively lost fuel as Italy reconnected with the match, and ended up giving up all their leverage.
