Such a long wait.
Since December 18, 2021, PSG supporters had not been able to see their favorites again since an astonishing elimination in the Coupe de la Ligue semi-final against Chambéry (28-29).
For their return to current affairs, the Parisians of Nikola Karabatic restarted the machine with a quiet victory against Dunkirk (38-30).
In the meantime, with nine Parisians involved, the Euro, which ended with a chocolate medal for France and a few charms for the Parisians (silver for Ferran Solé Sala with Spain, bronze for Henrik Toft Hansen and Mikkel Hansen with Denmark), has left its mark.
Thus, the Danish strategist Mikkel Hansen is recovering from his sprained ankle.
Other brand absences were to be deplored such as Nedim Remili and Luka Karabatic,

What you must remember
With its status as the best defense in the championship, Dunkirk could have posed some problems for PSG.
It has not happened.
Despite the opener, the Northerners were quickly put under the funnel against Parisians, visibly happy and determined to return to competition.
Obviously, the Europeans were already in the rhythm unlike the other players, who will have to find the right fuel.
Nevertheless, in the first period, Raul Gonzalez's players showed a fairly serious face (20-15).
A lead quickly increased to eight big lengths at the start of the second period (23-15, 34th) then to ten big lengths a few moments later (30-20, 45th).
Assured of a fourteenth victory, the best attack of the championship ends the match in freewheel (34-27).
The player: Leo Plantin
A defector from Nancy, the new Parisian has finally taken his first steps in Pierre-de-Coubertin.
Entering the game in the 37th minute, the young 18-year-old hopeful made a sensational entry by scoring his first goal in the colors of Paris.
The 1.86 m left winger does honor to his number 90. In the end, three goals scored for a successful first.
The number: 7
Like the number of matches that PSG will play during this month of February.
After Dunkirk, we will find the Parisians on the side of Istres next Friday then in Saran on Valentine's Day.
Then make way for a distant trip to Ukraine, to Zaporozye in the Champions League on February 17.
The Parisians will then follow up with three games at home, at Pierre-de-Coubertin against Limoges and Nîmes on the 20th and 27th with the reception of the Germans from Flensburg on the 24th on the European stage.
The statement
“We had a serious match after a busy month of January for everyone.
It's a hell of a rhythm.
It's not easy physically and mentally at this time of year.
Our goal has been achieved.
We are happy to continue like this in the league.
The contract is fulfilled.
We are picking up the pace with everyone quietly ”.
