Denmark coach Nikolaj Jacobsen drew conclusions at the end of another gold-medal campaign.

Tonight's match was a difficult one. If collecting all these titles doesn't make you feel awesome, then you don't deserve to be here. It was a tough tournament for us. There were a lot of expectations before we started, and it was hard for us to live up to them at first. We lost a few pivots along the way and had to find new solutions.

Today was a really tough game. We had a chance after the first 15 minutes to increase our lead, but Andreas Wolff was incredible in goal. Fortunately, we managed to score some goals in the end. I think the seven goal difference at the end doesn't reflect how hard this game was, the final wasn't decided until the last four or five minutes.

Germany has had many amazing achievements in recent times. Now they are among the favorites at every tournament. Last year they lost in the quarter-finals at the World Championship, but they were already in the final at the Olympic Games, and at the last EURO we beat them in the semi-finals. Now they have only one last step to climb to get the title. I'm not going to teach them how to win finals, though. They will be playing the next competition at home, so they will certainly be among the favourites
