History is written in Sofia! France became continental champions for the first time in their history! After claiming two silver medals and two bronze, it was turn for the brightest one. Slovenia caused several upsets at Eurovolley, eliminated Poland and Italy but couldn't do more against the team from other planet. The best scorer of the match was French opposite Antonin Rouzier with 21 points. Mitja Gašparini and Tine Urnaut scored 14 each in Slovenia.
