For the first time ever one team hold the world, Olympic and European title at the same time.
Allez les bleus - France are European champions
France has written a little bit of handball history in Vienna - Les bleus are the first ever team to hold the world, Olympic and now the European title at the same time.
In the EURO final in a packed-out Wiener Stadthalle, France beat Croatia 25:21 in a very close match played at the very highest level.
This is France's second EURO title after winning in Switzerland in 2006. The Croats have lost their fourth consecutive final (EURO and World Championship) since 2004 – and still have to wait for their first EURO title.
