A spectacular match against Valencia

Six matches in 16 days – that’s more than one game every three days! Since the start of the season, our Parisian side have had no respite. At least, not until this week. For the first time in quite a while, there are nearly five days between our sixth consecutive domestic victory, secured on Sunday against Boulazac, and the visit of Valencia. A full week’s training that our players are determined to put to good use against the Spanish champions.

As a member of the 2026 EuroLeague Final Four, Valencia is surely the team whose style most closely resembles that of Paris Basketball. This ‘made in Iisalo’ philosophy takes the form of up-tempo, attacking basketball. It is no coincidence that our legend TJ Shorts now wears the orange jersey. Whilst they boast the best attack in the EuroLeague, our opponents today have nevertheless suffered two consecutive defeats on the continental stage, including a historic collapse against Olympiacos. Although they have been shaken in Spain, the Taronges remain a force to be reckoned with in Europe.

Seba Herrera’s incredible shot to secure victory for Paris against Valencia last year still echoes in the memories of our supporters.
