Dominating on the national scene for almost a decade and the takeover of the club by Qatar in June 2012, the Parisians have never managed to achieve the feat of finishing a season with only victories on the clock.

To achieve this, they have three matches to win in the space of ten days, in Toulouse and Saint-Raphaël next week, and at home against Créteil to end the season.

Behind PSG (54 points), Nantes and Aix are fighting a long-distance battle for second place and therefore the second ticket for the next Champions League.

In this duel, the Nantes H, carried at the end of the game by his half-center Aymeric Minne, took an almost definitive step by winning 29 to 27 in Montpellier, while the PAUC went to bow in Brittany, against Cesson-Rennes (28-25).

"I wasn't too into it, with the heat it was complicated to get into the game. At the end of the game, I scored a goal that set the ball rolling and I continued. I try not to force it. C It started from the defense, we get a lot of balls, “said Aymeric Minne at the microphone of beIN Sports after the meeting.

Nantes has a three-point lead (43 against 40), while there are still six points to distribute.

"We started really well, we have an important game in Nîmes, if we could qualify for the Champions League before the last game, that would be good," added Minne.

The Montpellier residents now find themselves under threat from Chambéry, who have returned to fourth place in the championship tied at 35 points, after their victory at Dunkirk (30-25).

The two teams will meet on the penultimate day in the Hérault.
