In this first friendly match of the 2026-27 pre-season, Bjarki Elisson emerged as the key figure in Paris’s resounding victory (41–31). Scoring eight goals from nine attempts, the capital club’s new right-winger delighted the crowd at the Ariake Arena. A good omen for the season ahead? In any case, he wasn’t the only former Veszprém player to make a difference on Tuesday.
On his return to Paris six years after leaving for Hungary, Rodrigo Corrales proved just as solid as ever. Coming on in the second half, he made ten saves, spectacularly thwarting several opposition attempts before spearheading counter-attacks to help his team extend their lead. Meanwhile, fellow new arrival Frederik Ladefoged opened his goal account for Paris, finding the net once to get this new chapter off to the best possible start.
