Today (Tuesday), the Spanish national team defeated Finland 90:100 in the Eurobasket quarterfinals and qualified for the next stage.
Spain continues the tradition, since 1999 it reaches at least the semi-finals in every championship.
Today she did it for the 11th time in a row and precisely in a championship where the level of expectations from her was relatively low due to major shortcomings.

Spain stopped Finland's magical journey with a 90:100 victory, they will meet the winner between Greece and Germany in the semi-finals on Friday.
The world champion is not giving up the European title yet.
We said great lacks, but the one who is not missing is the last remnant of the golden generation - Rudy Fernandez.
At the age of 37 and after countless great positions, the hunger of the Real Madrid forward is not over.
With a lead of 2 for Spain with the ball in Finland's possession, 4 minutes to the end of the game we saw a big steal by him, an assist and two three-pointers that won the game.
