17 March 2019. Paris Saint-Germain Handball have just completed the best Champions League group stage campaign in their history, with a near-perfect record of 13 wins and just one defeat. Top of the standings, Raul Gonzalez’s men have the chance to win their second trophy of the season just a few months after lifting the Trophée des Champions against Montpellier (34-27).
In the Coupe de la Ligue final, it's this same opponent standing in the capital club's way. A French handball classic awaits the supporters who have turned out to fill the stands at the Antarès Arena in Le Mans. Once again, this summit clash goes in favour of our Rouge et Bleu, who turn in a flawless performance to leave MHB with no chance.
Leading by three points at half-time (30': 17–14), the Parisians were never really under threat during a match in which players across every sector of the game shone brightly. In attack, it was Uwe Gensheimer who led the way, scoring nine goals. In defence, Rodrigo Corrales helped his team maintain and then extend their lead by saving nine opposition shots, once again proving decisive in a title win.
