The British, as they were able to get most of the British Expeditionary Force evacuated from the encircled position. The Germans stopped their ground forces from pushing them into the sea as the Luftwaffe leader, Reichsmarshall Herman Goering, said to Hitler that the Luftwaffe could crush the evacuation ships, and he was unsucsessfull.
Another opinion
8000 British troops saved 300,000 British and French troops, so the British technically one. The only thing is that even though Germany had an unsuccessful attack, some British and French soldiers died, so they both won.
