Germany also takes the'European: Turkey knocked out in the final

Germany is champion of Europe. The German national basketball team, reigning world champions, also triumphs at EuroBasket 2025 thanks to its victory over Turkey, defeated 88-83 at the end of a splendid final, played at the Xiaomi Arena in Riga.

The MVP of the game was Isaac Bonga, author of 20 points and 5 rebounds, but the real star of the match was Dennis Schroder, awarded MVP of the tournament, who made all the decisive last baskets and finished with a double-double of 16 points and 12 assists.

The Sacramento Kings guard was also included in the ideal EuroBasket 2025 quintet, completed by his teammate Franz Wagner, Alperen Sengun (Turkey), Giannis Antetokounmpo (Greece) and Luka Doncic (Slovenia).

Turkey didn’t need a resounding Sengun, who put up 28 points, and Cedi Osman (23 points): it cost the Turkish national team, which had already lost the previous final played in 2001, its first defeat in the tournament.
