Germany Wins European Championship in Thrilling Final Against Turkey

In a nail-biting final match, Germany clinched the European Championship title in basketball, defeating Turkey 88-83 in Riga. The victory was witnessed by 11,000 enthusiastic spectators, including the Federal President, Frank-Walter Steinmeier.

The road to the championship was not easy for Germany, who overcame a weak start in the final match. The score at half-time was 40-46, with Germany trailing. However, the team maintained its composure and made a strong comeback in the second half.

Dennis Schröder, a key player for Germany, scored 20 points in the final match, making crucial contributions in the final minutes. Isaac Bonga also scored, and Franz Wagner led the team with his impressive performance.

Germany's interim coach, Alan Ibrahimagic, took over due to the illness of head coach Álex Mumbrú. Ibrahimagic led the team to a perfect run in the tournament, with Germany winning all nine matches it played in the European Championship.

This victory marks a significant milestone for Germany, as they have inscribed their name in basketball history. The team has won the European Championship title twice, the last time being in 1993. It's worth noting that Germany also won the World Cup in Manila two years prior to the European Championship.

The final match was a rematch of the World Cup final in Manila, making the victory even sweeter for the German team. This triumph will undoubtedly boost the morale of the German basketball community and inspire future generations of players.
