13.10.2018 Finland and France share the title

Three games and no winner between Finland and France and both managers agreed to share the title. The teams were in Group C where they finished on the top 2 spots with the same amount of points and it was that 1 goal advantage for France which allowed them to claim the first place in the group. The match between Suomi and Les Bleus in the group finished goalless.

On the final both teams played a very intense match with 4 goals in the last 5 minutes of regular time to make the final result 4-4. According to the rules the match had to be replayed but even on the replay nothing could separate both teams and managers reached an agreement to share the European Title.

Now for the second time in the tournament's history we have two winners after Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia shared the title in Season 2, now it's between Finland and France. So here are the awards summary after the end of the competition:

EHF European Champions:
Finland and France

Third placed teams:
Israel and Keniya

EHF Golden Boot:
Ron Itshaki - Israel - 5 Goals

EHF Golden Glove:
Vincent Gonnet - France - 5 Clean Sheets

That's about it for this season's edition of the EHF European Championship. For the first time we had 16 teams instead of 32, but I really hope that from next season we can go back to the 32 teams format :)

Now it's time for a short break and in a week or two, we'll be back with the EHF U20 Euro which will be next season, so NT/U20 fans and coaches, keep your eyes open for the new thread of the U20 Euro.

As always I want to say thank you to those who participated and respected the rules of this friendly competition. See you soon!
