The 31-year-old point guard for the German national team and the Sacramento Kings, **[Dennis Schröder](https://www.fiba.basketball/eurobasket/2025/news/schroder-on-german-nations-chances-against-turkey)**, shared his thoughts on the team’s chances of winning the EuroBasket 2025 final against Turkey. The match is set to kick off at 21:00 Moscow time.

“Winning the title would truly be a significant achievement. It would definitely mark a special moment for German basketball, and we are all ready to take on this challenge. But yes, it would certainly mean a lot.

The Turkish team has had an outstanding tournament. Alperen Şengün is literally the ‘head of the snake.’ It’s no surprise that he’s a star in the NBA. However, I believe we have a great opportunity today to elevate Germany back to the top and write another chapter in our federation’s history this summer. Turkey will likely have a lot of support, making it feel like an away game for us. But that’s okay; we typically perform very well in such circumstances,” Schröder’s words were quoted by FIBA.
