The good series continues for PSG handball. Inevitable. The capital club, solid and serious, largely won (37-31) on Sunday in Chambéry during the 11th day of Starligue, the French Championship. A real show of strength from the capital’s players who, after a timid first period, raised their voice after returning from the locker room. In a few minutes the gap went from one unit (17-18, 30th) to five (18-23, 36th) then eight (22-30, 45th). The Chambérians were totally overwhelmed by the pace.
But no one seems to keep up the pace set by the Parisians in France. Undefeated leaders, they have just achieved an 11th success in as many Starligue matches. Only Nantes, which hosts Aix at 7 p.m. on Sunday, remains in ambush with only one victory behind. Chambéry remains in a very delicate 14th place.
Paris moves on to Chambéry!
At the end of a second period of great mastery, our ❤️💙 overcome a great team from Chambéry and continue their flawless performance in the championship! #CHAPSG pic.twitter.com/aa3738POY1

Heavily defeated (28-39), Wednesday at Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League, Raul Gonzalez’s players took advantage of the national scene to put the points straight. “After the defeat in Portugal, we had to show a different face,” confirms pivot Gautier Loredon, scorer of three goals on Sunday. We chose to be a strong block defensively to allow the fastball to rise, and it worked. »
Still deprived of Elohim Prandi (shoulder dislocation), Luc Steins (broken hand), PSG was able to spare Luka Karabatic (foot pain), barely more than three minutes of play, and goalkeeper Andreas Palicka (pain in one ankle). 10 minutes from the siren, Raul Gonzales allowed himself to rotate his squad. The Parisian coach undoubtedly had in mind the important reception of Berlin on Thursday in the Champions League.
