Honor to the ladies, even more so than usual.
Fifteen days after Neymar and his band went off the road at Real Madrid (3-1), a week after the elimination of Zoumana Camara's U19s by the same score by Salzburg, Didier Ollé-Nicolle's players have , they carried the colors of PSG high on the European scene.
This Tuesday evening, Grace Geyoro and her partners perfectly negotiated the first chapter of their Champions League quarter-final by going to win on the lawn of Bayern Munich (1-2).
Valuable victory for our Parisiennes in the quarter-final first leg of the @UWCL.
Les Rouge et Bleu take a good option before the return leg, scheduled for next Wednesday at the Parc des Princes.

A victory from which it is difficult not to extract the performance of the top scorer in the history of the club, Marie-Antoinette Katoto (135 goals).
Faced with a German formation which had until then conceded only three goals in the competition, the native of Colombes found the net twice.
A first time by propelling an attempt by Diani returned by the bar out of reach of Leitzig, the German goalkeeper (19th).
A second on a perfectly uncrossed whim which will end its race under the bar (71st).
A double (his fourth and fifth goals in the Champions League) which allows, despite the reduction of Bühl's score with a powerful wrapped free kick (84th), to approach the return on favorable waivers.
Back next Wednesday at the Parc des Princes
Four days before the semi-final of the Coupe de France, which they will play in Fleury (2:15 p.m.) on Saturday, it is with a small lead and the confidence of a team which has only conceded one goal since the start. he opening of his continental campaign, which the Parisiennes will meet their opponents next Wednesday, 9 p.m., at the Parc des Princes.
A quarter-final return during which the players of Ollé-Nicolle will aim to make history stutter, they who had already won their ticket to the last four against Bayern (4-0) four years ago.
The motivation will be all the more exacerbated in the event of qualification, the semi-finalists of the last exercise will compete for their ticket for the final against the winner of the opposition between Juventus Turin and… Olympique Lyonnais.
The opportunity, perhaps, to take revenge on the Rhodaniennes who had kicked them out of the competition in the half two years ago.
