Since last season, Le Parisien has come back every weekend to all the results and highlights of sporting events involving clubs in the Île-de-France region.
Cardboard: Victor Wembanyama, again and again
Basket. Winner on the floor of Nancy on Saturday, Boulogne-Levallois was once again able to count on a Victor Wembanyama of the big nights. The French basketball nugget left Lorraine with a record of 30 points and 15 rebounds to guide his team on the path to success (78-92). A historic performance for the strong winger of the Mets since it is his third consecutive game with more than 30 points. Never had a French player achieved such a feat in the history of the Betclic Elite. In the standings, the Parisians still occupy first place alongside Cholet and begin to dream of a title.
The blow of air conditioning: Massy defeated at the last minute on his lawn
Rugby. Nothing is going in favor of Massy this season in Pro D2. The Parisians, already dead last in the standings, lost at the last minute at home to Soyaux-Angoulême (22-23). The Massicois however led 16-9 at the break thanks, among other things, to a try signed Nathan Farissier. The Charentais come back from the locker room but Julien Maréchal’s men maintain the gap thanks to two penalties from Romain Clouté. It was not until the 79th minute to see lightning strike the Jules-Ladoumègue stadium. A try scored by Sikeli Nabou buries all hope for the Parisians, the red lantern of Pro D2, already seven points behind Nevers, penultimate.
The right operation: PSG co-leader of Starligue
Handball. Like Montpellier, Paris Saint-Germain took advantage of Nantes’ defeat on Saturday in Toulouse (32-31) to slip away at the top of the Starligue thanks to their victory on Sunday against Saint-Raphaël (38-30). The Parisians had to wait the last ten minutes to see this success take shape, the eight-time defending champion only leading by one length at the break (19-18). Before making the difference thanks to the 9 goals of Nikola Karabatic, effective at left back in the absence of Elohim Prandi, injured.
The declaration: “As soon as we are not at 100%, that is not enough”
Rugby. After the defeat of Stade Français against Toulon (12-17), Gonzalo Quesada recognized a relaxation of his people after the break: “We saw in the second half that we have to be at 100% of our potential to compete. . As soon as we are not there, it is not enough. We can’t get out of the game for a few minutes against big teams like Toulon. We have no leeway”. The Stadistes remain on three consecutive poor performances (one draw, two defeats) in the Top 14 before facing the ogre from La Rochelle next week. For its part, Racing easily won against Clermont (46-12) on Sunday.
The number: 9
Volley. The Levallois volleyball players do not see the end of it. Promoted this season, they lost again against Saint-Raphaël on Saturday (1-3) and continued their black series of nine consecutive defeats in as many Ligue A matches. With these disappointing results, Fred Havas’ players point to the penultimate place in the ranking (13th out of 14).
