The German team has done well up to this point and can look back on an impressive track record: They have achieved seven victories in the European Championship so far. The last time we reached the final was exactly 20 years ago. A win against the Finns would mean the team's second European Championship medal, after they already won bronze in 2022. But the Finns recently won impressively against Germany in the preliminary round with 91:61, which increases the anticipation for today's encounter even more.

Markkanen, who scores 24.7 points per game, is viewed by the Finns as their greatest weapon. In addition to him, Mikael Jantunen, Edon Muxhini and Sasu Salin are also important for Finland. While the Germans beat Slovenia 99:91 in the quarterfinals, Finland also noticeably improved with an impressive 92:86 win against Serbia.
