Luka Karabatic's teammates continued their flawless run in the Starligue on Sunday with a twentieth victory in twenty matches, totaling 40 points in the standings.
Ten games from the end of the season, PSG now have a nine-point lead over Nantes and Aix (31 points each) and even virtually ten over H Nantes because the Parisians won both matches against Alberto's men. Entrerios.
A little later in the afternoon, Montpellier won against Cesson-Rennes at home (33-26), strengthening their fourth place with 25 points, and will try to save their season on the national scene by qualifying for a European Cup next season.
With six points behind H and PAUC, Patrice Canayer's men must achieve a flawless end to the season to hope to get closer to Nantes and Aix, for the second qualifying place for the Champions League.
Otherwise, we will have to settle for the European League (C2).
In Coubertin and under the eyes of Kylian Mbappé, who came alongside his mother Fayza (former professional handball player) as a neighbor after PSG's Ligue 1 match against Bordeaux (3-0), the Parisians were able to count on Mikkel Hansen, impeccable on his throws at 7m (6/6).
The Dane scored his 1,300th goal in the French championship, he who arrived in the capital club in 2012 and who will leave PSG at the end of the season to join Aalborg in Denmark.
In goal, Vincent Gérard was still impressive with 18 saves and 40% success.
"We knew it was an important match. It's never finished in a championship, but we're 20 out of 20 and it's very pleasant", underlined the doorman of the France team at the microphone of beIN Sports after the match, also bearing in mind the Champions League loss three days ago against Hungarian club Veszprem.
In contact with the Parisians at the start of the last ten minutes (26-25, 49th), the Nantes residents cracked by conceding a crippling 5-0 in the space of seven minutes.
Players will now join their squads for the week-long international window.
