Belgium was crowned European basketball champion for the second consecutive time, after its victory over the thread against Spain on Sunday (67-65). The Belgians, favorite in their own succession, confirmed their status after a crazy meeting where they took the lead at the very end of the match.
Still carried out from a point at the entrance to the last ten seconds – they were 12 units 3 minutes from the term – the “Belgian Cats” were saved by an interception by Antonia Delaere, who scored the winner’s basket.
It is the second trophy in the history of Belgium by Emma Meesseman, triple MVP of Euroligue and the first at the head of the selection of the American Mike Thibault, who arrived in January. The Spaniards have failed to find the heights, after a last title acquired in 2019.
