The UK’s ambassador to the Euro- pean Union, Sir Tim Barrow, deliv- ered Theresa May’s letter to the European Council president Don- ald Tusk on Wednesday as British residents in other EU countries re- peated their concern about the fu- ture. On triggering Article 50 that will lead to Britain’s exit from the EU, the UK government stressed that it wanted to “put people first”.

In Spain, the number of British residents apply- ing for Spanish nationality has in- creased sevenfold since the refer- endum in June last year.

However, the dynamic of the game changed when Valen- cia once again called on the services on Dubljević, who had been taken off after the first quarter. Valencia’s changes had an imme- diate impact, as they led the hosts to score seven points without re- ply, although they were unable to break clear largely down to the bas- kets of Nedović, with the third quar- ter ending 64-60 to Valencia. An extremely motivated Nedo- vić continued from where he had left off, with his six points putting Unicaja into a 66-64 lead. Unfortu- nately for the visitors, Nedović’s in- jury soon after, combined with Plaza’s decision to leave Alen Omić on the bench for the final few min- utes left a rather unusual quintet on the field, which ultimately proved to be their downfall as a continual loss of possession saw Valencia come storming back to seal victory.
