If the PSG footballers have never yet managed to remain undefeated for a whole season in the French championship, their handball counterparts had signed the incredible performance of winning all their matches last season.

Raul Gonzalez's players had even remained undefeated in the Starligue since April 25, 2021, with 35 straight wins, before experiencing a spectacular setback 17 months later, Sunday in Toulouse (35-27).

At the end of the 3rd day of the championship, the Parisian ogre, winner of the last eight editions of the French championship, therefore suffered the law of Fenix ​​for the first time in eleven years.

Like Nikola Karabatic, who could not find the fault (0/4 on shots), PSG seemed helpless on Sunday and left first place in the Starligue to HBC Nantes, now the sole leader.


Casually, this is already the third defeat of the season, in all competitions, for PSG, after the Champions Trophy against Nantes in Poitiers (33-37) and their Champions League match at Veszprem (36 -34).

Parisian hegemony could therefore be less obvious this year.

Especially given the serious knee injury of Hungarian Dominik Mathé and the difficulties of adaptation of other recruits, whether Swedish goalkeeper Andreas Palicka or former Nantes winger David Balaguer, both disappointing in Toulouse.
