Germany will play for third place at the 2024 European Handball Championships
The young DHB team didn't manage to make a big splash in their own country.
But just getting into the semi-finals can be considered a success.
On Friday evening (January 26th) it becomes obvious that the reigning world champion Denmark is one size too big.
Germany lost 26:29 and missed out on a place in the final.
At the end of the tournament, national coach Alfred Gislason's team is still in action again.
In the game for third place, the German national handball team meets the dethroned European champion Sweden, who had to admit defeat to France in the semi-finals after a real handball thriller.
There is still a lot at stake for the German handball players.
