For the moment in check in the Champions League, Paris SG continued their flawless course in the French Championship by going to crush Saint-Raphaël in his room, 37 to 23, Tuesday during the third day.
The six-fold title holders are in the lead with three wins, and temporarily alone, pending the matches of the two other undefeated, on the track Wednesday, Nantes (against Toulouse) and Nîmes (against Montpellier, who only played one meeting and won it).
After having already spent 18 goals at Cesson-Rennes (39-21) on Saturday in their room in Coubertin, the Parisians were just as ruthless with the Raphaëlois.
At the break, the gap was already twelve goals (22-10).
Even if they were the last to have brought down PSG in the league, on May 12, 2019 (in an end-of-season match without a stake), the Var have never found the energy to return.
PSG had to play with only one experienced goalkeeper, Vincent Gérard, with young Loïck Spady in the relay, because Yann Genty had tested positive for Covid just before the previous match.
In attack, he relied on the Polish pivot Kamil Syprzak and the back Nedim Remili (7 goals each).
The team of the Karabatic brothers will receive Toulouse in the Starligue in three days before returning to the European scene on October 15, also at home, against the Norwegians of Elverum.
Their first two games were lost, by one goal each time, against the Germans in Flensburg and the Belarusians in Brest.
"We did not start in the best way in the Champions League but nothing is lost. Maybe it was better for it to happen then. It's been two games that we are well in the league, the same must be done in Europe, "commented at the microphone of BeINSports winger Mathieu Grébille, one of the newcomers of the offseason.
