the two nations back-to-back at the break (14-14)… Follow the Euro handball final

It’s a classic in men’s handball finals. Two and a half years after the final of the Olympic Games and almost a year to the day after that of the World Cup, France meets Denmark in the final stage of this Euro, Sunday January 28, in Cologne (Germany). Ten years after their last European title, Guillaume Gille’s players are aiming for a fourth continental title.

To reach the final, the Blues defeated Sweden in the semi-final, at the end of a breathtaking match marked by this shot from elsewhere from Elohim Prandi, and where the Blues snatched victory at the end of overtime (34-30). They will have to do without right-back Melvyn Richardson, who left the rally on Saturday to join his pregnant partner. “It takes away a rotation at fullback, analyzes coach Guillaume Gille. We are thinking about how to overcome this. There are several options.” Valentin Porte, who twisted his ankle against Sweden, is embarrassed. The Danish world champion qualified by defeating Germany (26-29), host country of the competition.
