Crowned French champions for the 13th time thanks to their victory over Nantes (34–31), Paris Saint-Germain showed their pedigree with a steely performance away to Chambéry the following week (28–29). Stefan Madsen’s men now have just one game left to play before celebrating their trophy in style with the crowd at Coubertin. For the final match against Tremblay, the objective is simple: to maintain their unbeaten run and secure a 29th victory in 30 league matches.
Having returned to the StarLigue in 2024, Tremblay have confirmed their progress over the last two seasons, with a second consecutive top-ten finish on the cards. The Paris-region side even held out hope of a European spot for a long time, before seeing Chambéry and Saint-Raphaël pull away. Cherif Hamani’s men will have nothing left to play for at Coubertin, but they will be aiming to secure seventh place, which would be their best finish since 2011.
It promises to be an entertaining match on Saturday, between two teams naturally inclined to attack. Tremblay, with the fifth-highest scoring record (951 goals), boast the StarLigue’s third-highest scorer, Matteo Fadhuile (194 goals), who is set to leave the club this summer and will be keen to put on one last show. The reverse fixture was a goal-fest, won by Les Rouge et Bleu (38-31). Stefan Madsen is no doubt hoping for another successful performance to round off the season.
This match will be no mere formality, with the Parisians aiming to remain unbeaten and Tremblay side looking to pull off a major upset. It will also be the final match of the season for our Rouge et Bleu, and an opportunity to celebrate the Liqui Moly StarLigue title while also paying tribute to the players who will be leaving the capital this summer after so many years of service. There are still tickets available to come and support your team before the summer break!
This final matchday of the StarLigue season promises to be an exciting one, with several crucial clashes on the cards. Limoges must beat Nantes away from home and hope that Montpellier, who face derby rivals Nîmes, slip up if they are to secure third place. The final European spot will be decided between Chambéry and Saint-Raphaël, who are level on points (though the head-to-head record favours Chambéry), as they face Istres and Chartres respectively – both of whom are locked in a direct battle for survival.
In this battle for survival in the StarLigue, 13th-placed Dunkerque must secure a better result than their pursuers to beat the drop, away to an in-form Sélestat side who have all but secured their place in the top flight after beating Dijon during the week (27-32). Already-relegated Dijon will travel to Aix, while Toulouse will play host to Cesson-Rennes.
