Following their victory over HBC Nantes on Friday (35-32), Paris Saint-Germain were crowned champions of France 2022-2023 in Liqui Moly Starligue Round 29. In doing so, the club from the French capital moved into double figures with the tenth league title in club history.
With 26 wins from 29 games and a four-point lead over Montpellier Handball, Raul Gonzalez players have won the tenth league title in the club & history, and their ninth in a row. In doing so, Les Rouge & Bleu improve their own record for consecutive league titles by one. This is the 21 st trophy won by the Club since its takeover by QSI in the summer of 2012 : ten French championships, four Coupes de France, three Coupes de la Ligue and four Trophée des Champions. Luka Karabatic and his team-mates will travel to Aix-en-Provence next Tuesday (20:30) to take on PAUC in the 30th and final round of the league season - before starting their all-important preparations for the EHF Champions League Final4 in Cologne (17 and 18 June 2023).
« It's a wonderful evening for Paris Saint-Germain Handball and we extremely proud to have won a tenth French league title. It has been a great week for the club after the senior football team won the French Ligue 1 title last Saturday. In the Liqui Moly Starligue, adversity increases every season, as we saw again this year, but the team showed its fighting spirit, resilience and remarkable spirit to win this new title. I like to congratulate everyone who contributed to the team performance: the management, the players, the coaching staff and all the employees. The season isnt over yet, however, as our players have a major challenge ahead of them in the EHF Champions League Final4 in a fortnight time. I'm sure they ll approach it with the same determination they hown throughout the season. »
Nasser al-Khelaïfi, Chairman of Paris Saint-Germain
