The Unstoppable Journey of the Spanish Women's Basketball Team
The Spanish women's basketball team has left no stone unturned in their quest for victory, securing a crucial triumph over Germany (79-60) in an electrifying game during EuroBasket Women 2025. This victory all but guarantees their advancement to the quarter-finals.
Friday's game against a tournament host, Germany, served as an excellent testing ground for La Familia. The team brushed aside the challenge, notching up their second win in as many days, further bolstering their confidence.
While several debutantes shone brightly on Thursday, the veterans took center stage on Saturday. This was a forceful team victory against a theoretically tougher opponent, with Germany's bench failing to make an impact, contributing a mere 0 points to their total (compared to Spain's impressive 38). Their star player, Leonie Fiebich, didn't find a moment's rest in the entire 40 minutes of play[1].
Raquel Carrera Shines Brighter Than Ever
Another shining star in the game was Raquel Carrera, who played with grit despite being wrapped in metaphorical cotton wool. The Valencia Basket pivot was the top scorer for Miguel Mendez's team, netting an impressive 20 points.
Leading the charge early on was Paula Ginzo, who scored eight of the team's first 12 points in the first quarter. Some noteworthy achievements also include Alba Torrens reaching 700 points in her seven EuroBasket participations[2].
The same night, Sweden emerged victorious against Great Britain with a scoreline of 75-66[3].
As this phase comes to an end on Sunday, the following games are scheduled: Spain will face Sweden, while Germany will take on Great Britain. The top two finishers will secure a spot in the quarter-finals. Expecting an upset would be a gamble, given Spain's performance so far. However, a potential triple tie could lead to an unexpected outcome[1].
