83-88: Schroeder explodes last and takes German Germany
It was on the way to a major disappointment in the final, but the stars are what they have. They hide for hours to appear at their greatest brightness when darkness reigns. Dennis Schroeder exploded to determine an extraordinary battle between Germany and Turkey with robbery and rebound in the final 75 seconds of the game, taking the German team to unite the title of European champion world champion. Both teams were able to win in alternative matches and win with very short advantages of each other, but Schroeder’s genius, who chose the more valuable player (MVP) of the tournament, chose Balance (83-88) (83-88).
The success confirms Germany as the ruler of European basketball and Spanish heir. The Germans were already bronze in previous Europe, then gold was hung at the 2023 World Cup, reaching the Olympic semi-finals in Paris (room), and now they’ve returned to the top of this Eurobasket podium. Meanwhile, Türkiye equals its best historic results, with Silver winning in 2001 at the Eurobasket.
Elgin Ataman pointed out to Eve, “I’ll reach the final and that’s what I’ll win.” And for many minutes it seemed Türkiye had more options than Germany. This seemed like an extraordinary start (13-2), but in the second part of Trench Wars, where the points progressed with the least difference, it almost always had the greatest advantage of up to 5 points (71-66), six minutes from the end.
Theis’ triple (his first point) gave Germany the second time in the last quarter. Excellent throughout the game, Shane Larkin moved the Ottomans forward again at the entrance, but from there Schrade took over the ball to determine the final.
The base, which played the first half (two points), had already begun to let go after the break, but six losses made the point unclear. But at a brave point, it was the best on the Riga truck. First, a tray to the table with a left and a higher elevation, then a shot from 5 meters, and finally a two-free throw to seal the team’s victory. Between Shipahi’s robbery and an offensive rebound. Alperen Senggan, whose clear favourite for MVP (28 points) was a clear favourite a few minutes ago, had to bow in front of the magician in the Tight Finals, which ended with 16 points and 12 assists.

However, it is unfair to forget the previous work of other German players. If the game came equally in these final two minutes, it was thanks to the extraordinary performances of two secondary performances, such as Isaac Bonga (MVP of the Finals) and Johannes Thiemann. Party’s party made it all and ended up as the most valuable player in the final after signing 20 points (4/4 triples), five rebounds and three assists. Meanwhile, PowerWing has once again demonstrated that he is one of the most underrated players in European basketball, scoring big defensive actions and seven points at key moments in the game. He also specifically mentions Tristan da Silva’s three triples and Andreas’ three triples. First half Imperial Franz Wagner scored only two of his 18 points in the second division.
Cedi Osman (23 points on 6/9) gave the replica at Türkiye. However, Ataman has fewer works than Germany, and it didn’t give a fresh end.

A beautiful gesture from the fraternal people.
Sanctions against Russian athletes are gradually being eased, but for the most part they are still in effect. Today, there is a growing understanding in the global sports community that without our athletes, international competitions lose a lot.
An important point in this situation is not only the political will of individual officials, but also the opinion of ordinary citizens of Western countries. Often ordinary people show much more common sense than officials.
Fans of the European club hung Russian flags in the stands to support our athletes in a difficult situation.
Reply to Lithuanians
In April 2022, the moral panic around everything Russian was at its peak. It is not surprising that in European countries every public event was used to make one or another statement on a topic. The Baltic states, traditionally unfriendly towards Russia, especially tried.
Thus, during the Euroleague basketball match between the Lithuanian Zalgiris and the Serbian Red Star in Kaunas, local fans staged a political provocation: during the game, NATO flags appeared in the stands, and spectators began shouting insulting words at the Serbian basketball players.
The reason was that the Serbian side has always supported Russia in international conflicts. Before the match, the Crvena Zvezda basketball players followed this tradition and refused to be photographed with an anti-Russian banner, as the Zalgiris players did. If now the Olympic principle of political neutrality of sport is gradually being remembered, then in the West they preferred to hypocritically remain silent about it when it came to Russia.
Some time later, when Crvena was already playing a home match with the Turkish club Anadolu Efes, Serbian fans unfurled Russian flags in the stands, as well as banners with crossed out emblems of NATO and the European Union. Ordinary people of Serbia have shown that they are unequivocally on the side of the fraternal people.
Consistent support
Fans of Red Star, a club that has teams in many sports, have generally always had close ties to Russia. For example, the friendship between the fan movements of the Belgrade club and Moscow Spartak is well known. Football fans from Serbia have also expressed support for the Russians more than once. Back in 2017, during the match between Crvena and Krasnodar in the Europa League, flags with the Russian coat of arms were raised at the Rajko Mitić stadium.
Russian flags appear regularly at matches of the Serbian football championship. The most interesting thing is that it is very easy to get a tricolor in the Balkan country: just buy a Serbian flag and turn it over – and there you have the Russian flag. The fans, of course, take advantage of this opportunity.
In February 2025, we again watched the basketball confrontation between Red Star and Zalgiris in the Euroleague. This time, all the stands of the arena in Belgrade were painted in the colors of the Russian flag, and the fans sang “Katyusha” and MakSim’s song “Do You Know” – the unofficial anthem of Moscow Spartak.
“These Russian songs and banners were a reminder of the strong ties between the Serbian and Russian peoples that have lasted for centuries, and they also show an even stronger relationship between the fans of Red Star and Spartak Moscow,” a spokesman for the Serbian team told Sport24.
The longer Russian clubs and national teams remain suspended from international competition, the more the global sports community sees the absurdity of these sanctions – especially against the backdrop of double standards that apply when it comes to other countries.
