We will report back in a few hours. But whatever the result of the Euro final this Sunday evening, France will leave with a medal. It will be the third of the last three major international competitions: bronze at the 2019 World Cup in China, silver at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 and gold or silver this year at the Euro in Germany. In a global and universal sport like basketball, dominated by Americans, the performance is extraordinary. “I don’t want anyone to come and tell us that our Euro is successful because we are in the final. We’re not here to finish second, we don’t want to,” insists the captain, Evan Fournier. “We said it, we say it again and I repeat it. All we want is gold. Nothing else, ”supports his friend Rudy Gobert.
