Once again Spain and France are among the big favorites to win the 2015 EuroBasket and by now their battles tend to become classic. The Furias Rojas are the ones who have been dominating in Europe in the past decade and the French the ones that aspire to build their own empire having already made the start with winning the trophy in 2013 in Slovenia and the silver medal in Lithuania.
Eurohoops looks back and presents all the games the two teams have played in a final stage of the European championship. In total, the French and the Spaniards have clashed 20 times in the EuroBasket, with the Iberians having 16 wins (80%)! Of course, in this flashback are not included clashes between the two from the Mundobasket, where the score is tied (2-2). France won last year’s quarterfinal in Madrid and in the group stages in 2010, while Spain prevailed last year in the group stages and in 1986 on the tournament’s opening day.
