The DBB team around Captain Dennis Schröder prevailed in a gripping European Championship final against Turkey. This also impressed the international press.
The German basketball players made it exciting until the end. In the end, the team around captain Dennis Schröder was happy-and in Riga caused a goosebump moment with the win of the European Championship title.
Isaac Bonga then said: “Somewhere I also believe in the basketball gods. We were almost the whole game in the back and in the end we still managed to get it again. This shows what kind of character this team has, what our self -confidence we have.” This also commented on the international press:
“Sabah”: “We played and fought until the last ball. In the last two minutes the game was suddenly slipped. The boys gave us great pleasure. Larken, Cedi and Adem Bona played great. Alperen was a hero since the start of the tournament. (…) We played very well until the end.”
“Hürriyet”: “‘Champions of hearts’ – the 12 giants, who united 86 million people and made proudly, were defeated in the final. But they showed the whole world that they awaken great hopes for the future.”
“ESPN”: “Dennis Schröder simply took over to give Germany another gold. Schröder scored the last six points of the game. It is Germany’s first Eurobasket title since 1993 and he followed the world championship in 2023 after the team-largely with the same core.”
“Sports Illustrated”: “As a MVP, all star of the European Championship and with the title, Schröder now has a balance that could bring him to the basketball Ruhmeshalle. This is not exclusively for NBA players and successes in the league. Worldwide basketball is also part of it, and Schröder should have arguments.”
“Marca”: “Álex Mumbrú is the first Spanish coach who won the Basketball European Championship. He did this with Germany and thus continued the success of a team. A German machine that was perfectly oiled by the Spanish coach who has reached a milestone despite serious health problems.”
“As”: “A German team for the history books. They took over the throne of Spain. When the Spanish national team managed this, it seemed a wonderful miracle, but German success is only logical.”

“L’Equipe”: “L’Veragne over everything. After the World Cup 2023, La team put on the European crown in Riga on Sunday. In the last minute, Germany made the decision – thanks, as well as other, his leader Dennis Schröder. The German captain, who was chosen for the MVP of the tournament, woke up at the best possible moment after he suffered for a long time.”
