The French team was eliminated in the semi-finals of the Euro Handball, against Sweden (33-34).
Badly embarked from the start of the meeting, the men of Guillaume Gilles bowed against the very inspired Swedes.
After reacting well at the end of the game against Denmark on Wednesday, the France team will have been inferior in the physical fight, and will have been unlucky in front of the Swedish goalkeeper, in a state of grace.
The French will play Sunday at 3:30 p.m. for the bronze medal against Denmark for a remake of the final of the Tokyo Games, while Sweden will try to win the final against the Spaniards on Sunday.
