Spain, the defending champion, defeated Cyprus with an outstanding performance by Willy Hernangómez. The group stage, involving 24 teams, is taking place in four different countries. The four best teams from each group will advance to the knockout stage in Riga, Latvia, from September 6 to 14.This is a normal workday for him. I am even happier that today we have shown that we can play good defense. And that we won.
