Eurobasket 2021 has reached his definitive moment, the fight for the medals, where the four survivors will play at La Fonteta in Valencia next Saturday, for a place in the grand final.
A first phase is left behind in which the first three of each group qualified and some crosses that opened on Monday with the round of 16, a round from which the group leaders escaped. The eighths were played on Wednesday and the quarterfinals on Friday. In the first round of matches, the favorites did not give a choice and left the first semifinal decided: Belarus clearly beat Sweden and France had no mercy on the revelation of the tournament, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Later, two tremendous games were played, much more even. Belgium suffered a lot to overtake Russia despite the great game of its great star, Emma Meesseman (33 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists). And then, Serbia beat Spain in a tremendous game resolved in extra time.

GROUP A: Belarus (first), Spain (second) and Sweden (third) pass; Slovakia eliminated
