Spain have ended the Men’s EHF EURO Cup 2022 on a high. In a rematch of last year’s EHF EURO final, the reigning European champions defeated Croatia 34:22 Sunday evening in the last match of the competition in front of 500 spectators in Pontevedra. The result did not affect the final standings of the EHF EURO Cup, as Spain remained in third and Croatia in second place. Hungary had already been confirmed as the winners. EHF EURO CUP 2022 Spain vs Croatia 34:22 (15:13)
Spain shift focus to Olympics For Spain, Sunday’s match against Croatia was about more than just closing their rather disappointing EHF EURO Cup campaign in a positive way. It also marked the start of their preparations for the Tokyo Olympics, which throw off in less than a month’s time. The team of head coach Jordi Ribera will be pleased with their second half, but also be aware that their opponents were not out on full force. That will be different in Tokyo, where Spain can expect stiff competition in a group with the likes of Germany, Norway, and France. Croatia have not qualified for the Olympics.
