Make way for the Danish ogre for the Blues in the Euro 2024 handball final this Sunday. After having barely eliminated Sweden in the semi-final, the French team challenges Mikkel Hansen and his compatriots in a shock. TV channel, predictions… Discover all the information on the final.
Narrowly qualified for the final of the 2024 European handball championship after a success in overtime against Sweden (34-30), the French team challenges Denmark this Sunday. Between 2011 and 2023, the two great handball nations have faced each other five times in the final of an international competition. A habit of finding the band at Mikkel Hansen. After Elohim Prandi’s historic shot against Sweden to snatch extra time in the semi-finals, Sweden lodged a complaint with the EHF concerning the disputed position of the French player’s feet. In a press release published this Saturday morning, the European committee reiterated its support for the arbitrators who remain the sole decision-makers. The Blues are therefore well qualified for the final where they will meet Denmark, winner of Germany, the host country (29-26).
This evening, the Blues have the opportunity to win a fourth title on the European scene, the first since 2014. This final on the continent will be the last of Nikola Karabatic who is retiring after the Paris Olympics this summer. Assistant to Guillaume Gille, Erick Mathé gave his impressions on the Danish selection: “The Danish team will present itself in a configuration very close to its squad from last year’s World Cup, with one exception, and not the least, with the presence of Emil Nielsen who replaces Kevin Möller. Backs Pytlik and Gidsel are heavily used and perhaps, at the end of the competition, like last year with Lauge Schmidt and Mensah, we should expect rotations. Concerning the state of freshness of the two teams, between the programming of the semi -finals and the extent of playing time, I cannot say which team will benefit. Concerning us, we had a significant emotional expense which we must evacuate as quickly as possible to be ready for the final.
For this last meeting of Euro 2024, Melvyn Richardson is uncertain. In fact, the right-back had to leave his partners to join his partner where they are awaiting a happy event in the coming hours. Faced with the absence of his player, Guillaume Gille could leave the keys to the French attack to Kentin Mahé and Nedim Remili could move to right back alongside Dika Mem.
