With Pau Gasol leading the team once more, Spain will look in Poland for its first ever EuroBasket gold. The current World Champions and Olympic silver medalists have been on the European podium four times in the last five championships, but never on the top.

Pau Gasol is hungry of gold and success. After leading Spain to a memorable silver medal in the 2008 Olympic Games, he was expected to take a year off, to earn a well deserved rest... but he didn't. "I want to help my country in another international competition and to achieve one more success for our fans", he announced on July 3rd.
