Victorious in Dijon (3-0), the Parisians have finally won their first title of champions of France. Acting in passing the white season of the Rhone rivals.
The transfer of power. Paris SG finally won the first women’s D1 title in its history on Friday, defeating the immense dynasty of Lyonnaises, who had been champions of France without interruption for 14 years. A victory against Dijon (3-0) in Jean-Bouin crowned the new champions of France. The whole group exploded at the final whistle, to celebrate this first title. Germany’s Sara Dabritz from the penalty spot (8th), captain Irene Paredes (61st) and Canadian Jordyn Huitema (90th) scored the winning goals.
“We have had disappointments in recent years,” recalled Paredes, “it’s work, but today it’s up to us!” she gloated at the microphone of Canal+Sport. With 62 points, the Parisiennes are one point ahead of the Lyonnaises (61 pts), who unsuccessfully crushed Fleury (8-0). “We are proud of us, it is the accomplishment of years of work”, jubilated Grace Geyoro, on Canal.
The president of PSG, Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, was on the lawn for the presentation of the first champion’s trophy of the women’s section. Meanwhile, the ex-queens of Europe end the season empty-handed. Already eliminated by PSG in the quarter-finals of the Champions League (0-1 / 2-1), a huge disappointment after winning five European crowns in a row, the players of Jean-Michel Aulas have won nothing this season .
Rise in power
However, they have long made Parisiennes cry, in D1, or in the 2017 C1 final (0-0, 7 tab to 6), but this year the balance has tilted towards the Capital. PSG went ahead in November by beating their executioner from Lyon at the Parc des Princes (1-0), and has never left the head of the D1 ladies. The PSG girls kept it by snatching a 0-0 in Lyon on the penultimate day, without much panache, but enough to allow them to finally pick the long-awaited fruit on Friday. Arrived in 2018 on the bench of PSG, the former coach of the Bleues Olivier Echouafni has finally won the Grail, even if he should leave the club in the coming weeks.
Landed in the elite twenty years ago, the women’s section of PSG hits the mark after a steady rise in power. She doubled the Montpellier, settled in the role of runner-up for the last three seasons before finally crowning the crown. “We have passed a stage, particularly psychologically. We will continue to invest because the competition will increase. We want to maintain our level ”, projected the Parisian sports director Leonardo, Sunday on Canal+.
Be careful, the Lyonnaises always have an appetite. They have been deprived for a year and a half of the best player in the world, the Norwegian Ada Hegerberg, the first Ballon d’Or in the history of women’s football. After this first untitled season since 2006, OL have already thought about the change. A woman settled on the bench, Sonia Bompastor, who replaced Jean-Luc Vasseur at the end of April after elimination in the Champions League. Stars will leave, goalkeeper Sarah Bouhaddi, midfielder Dzsenifer Marozsán and striker Eugenie Le Sommer, all three on loan to the American subsidiary OL Reign until December 31, 2021. But the queens of Europe and France do not. will not abdicate.
