“Handball, a family story”: with Canal+, immerse yourself in the great history of the Blues for 35 years

To understand, we have to go back to May 16, 1995. France des Barjots, bronze medalist at the Barcelona Olympics three years earlier, faced Spain in the round of 16 of the World Cup. The 1st round went badly. The group atmosphere is sullen, far from the spirit of Barcelona. Before the match, Denis Lathoud calls a meeting between players to dot the “i”. This is the beginning of the rebirth. During the game which started badly, Jackson Richardson was sent to the scene, right on the Spanish substitutes’ bench. This causes scuffles to start.
