“A final is also won on mistakes,” predicts L. Karabatic
Luka Karabatic (captain of the Blues, at the microphone of beinSports): “It’s a final, it’s normal that it’s complicated, we’re perhaps facing the best team in the world. We know that there will be mistakes on both sides and we will have to watch for fatigue, that’s also where you win a final.”
18:24
Tie at the break! (14-14)
Everything remains to be done after a first half hour at very high intensity. After a first festival by Emil Nielsen in the Danish cages (11 saves at 45%), Samir Bellahcene woke up among the Blues (5 saves at 26%), holding the Danes in check for more than 7 minutes which allowed for the Blues to get back together, and even to lead. Successfully up front, Remili, Fabregas and Nahi (3 goals each) keep the Blues afloat.

Bellahcene starts in goal for the Blues
As against Sweden, the young goalkeeper from Kiel is chosen to start. Also note the presence of Dylan Nahi in the starting 7, where we find the inevitable Dika Mem, Nikola Karabatic, Ludovic Fabregas and even Nedim Remili.
17:45
Fabregas in the typical team of the competition
A few seconds before the Marseillaise, Ludovic Fabregas received his distinction for appearing in the standard team for the competition. The French pivot is the only Blue in the selection, where we find two Danes, defender Magnus Saugsturp and the inevitable Mathias Gidsel.

Germany fourth in “its” Euro
The German Euro will remain a great popular success with full stands and in particular a record attendance at the opening in Dusseldorf (53,000 spectators). But there will remain a taste of unfinished business for the Mannschaft, which will not appear on the last step of the podium, beaten by Sweden in the match for third place (34-31). Thus, Sweden, the 2022 title holder, punches its ticket for the 2024 Paris Games.
17:40
Prandi, the match after
Probably author of the goal of his life last Friday, Elohim Prandi will be one of the men to watch in this final, while the right arm of the “Bison” will be a real asset to pierce the Landin-Nielsen doublet in the Danish goals.

Denmark, watch out for danger… on both sides
Three-time reigning world champions, the Danes have one of the most complete teams on the circuit. And danger can come from everywhere, with formidable players in every position. In front, Mathias Gidsel (24 years old) and Simon Pytlick (23 years old) took over from Mikkel Hansen, today mainly responsible for the 7 meter jets. Behind, we quite simply find the best pair of the Euro: Nicklas Landin and Emil Nielsen (110 saves since the start of the Euro). “They have boys who can be decisive in all positions,” thus presents Guillaume Gille, yet not to be outdone when it comes to a quality workforce.
17:34
After Friday’s “miracle”, the Blues must increase pressure
A goal that made the rounds on TVs around the world and a qualification unanimously described as a “miracle”, the Blues are back in the Euro final for the first time in ten years. And they intend to take their revenge on Denmark, who brought them back to earth last year at the World Cup, after already a victory over Sweden, at home, in the semi-finals. “Last year, we had a big semi and we were perhaps too proud of that, so we are trying to quickly turn towards the final, in this project Nedim Remili. We’re going to go find the gold.”
17:31
France-Denmark, obviously
Poster of the last two Olympic finals but also of the last world final, which largely turned to the advantage of the Scandinavians (29-34), the clash between France and Denmark is a classic among the classics of handball in the 21st century. “There has been a rivalry for the last ten to fifteen years”recognizes Niklas Landin, the Danish goalkeeper, skilled in shifting pressure: There have been so many France-Denmark finals. We have gained experience but France remains the expert in finals, I believe.”

Golden year for the Blues?
Even if the Olympic obsession has not been one since their arrival in Germany, the Blues cannot forget that the year 2024, culminating in the Paris Games next summer, could be the most beautiful of the history of French handball. But before considering wearing the most beautiful crown at home, they will first have to find European gold against their best rival, Denmark.
