Madrid 2 Feb. (Europa Press) – Denmark Bend (26-32) to Croatia this Sunday in the final of the 2025 male handball world championship, imposing its law to raise the title by fourth edition followed.
The Olympic champion in Paris 2024 last summer did not want to get off at the top in the World Cup held in Croatia, Denmark and Norway, with the final at the Unity Arena in Baerum.
The Danes, who do not lose a World Cup match since 2017, fulminated a Croatia who was looking for their second title after the one achieved in 2003. Always ahead on the scoreboard, the defender of the title once again had a great Emil Nielsen under Palos .
In addition, Mathias Gidsel, who finished with ten goals, broke into the last ten minutes of the first half with six goals to give the Danes a good rent to rest (16-12). In the resumption, Croatia seemed to throw in the towel with a 24-14 still 20 minutes ahead, almost celebrating a golden team that since he won his first World Cup in 2019 he only knows how to hang the gold.
Despite the withdrawal of Niklas Landin and Mikkel Hansen after Paris 2024, Denmark remains the rival to beat in the male handball, surpassed in early 2024 by France in the European final. The Gallic team hung precisely the bronze of this World Cup in the match for third place this Sunday against the Portugal Revelation (35-34).
