It’s fragile, a certainty. A month ago, no one would have dared to ask the question: “can PSG lose their title of champion of France?” » Until the beginning of April, despite a draw against Toulouse (29-29), Paris, undefeated and almost invincible, dominated the Starligue from a very high level. No one resisted him. And then, the beautiful mechanism stopped. “We have had a latent lack of confidence for a while,” confirms Nikola Karabatic.
The first warning sign arrived on April 7 with a first defeat in Nantes (32-30) which, failing to relaunch the championship, showed that no, ultimately, PSG was not unbeatable in France. The worm penetrated the fruit two weeks later against these same Nantes residents in the final of the Coupe de France. The “H” this time sends Paris to the ropes, stunned by an almost historic quack (31-23).
