1. Rugby – Top 14: Castres bends the champion

Castres Olympique won 24 to 18 in this first semi-final, in Nice, against Stade Toulousain. The Castrais therefore find the Stade de France after 2018, and deprive the Toulouse of a third final in a row and the possibility of snatching a third Brennus in a row. At the end of a hell of a fight, completed in the very last minutes in a hot and suffocating atmosphere. The CO will know their opponent in the final tonight, after the other half UBB – Montpellier.

2. Formula 1 – Montreal Grand-Prix: Leclerc already penalized 10 places on the grid

The inevitable happened. Charles Leclerc did indeed receive a penalty of 10 places on the starting grid, Friday after the first free practice sessions and after Ferrari decided to install a third electronic control unit on its single-seater, against two allowed. After that, the Scuderia could also introduce a new turbo. Which would push the Monegasque back to the back of the grid.

3. Basketball – French Championship: ASVEL slaps Monaco to equalize

+37! After being dominated on their floor in Match 1, ASVEL reacted in the best possible way in the final of the Betclic Elite against an unrecognizable Roca Team (91-54) and equalized at 1-1 in the series (at best of five games). The Villeurbannais defense stifled Monaco’s attack, crushed by 37 points. The next two matches will be played in the Principality.

4. Football – Transfers: PSG in the process of signing its first recruit

This is information that fell quite late in the evening, but PSG are close to offering the services of FC Porto Vitinha midfielder according to the Portuguese press and Fabrizio Romano. The Ile-de-France club would be willing to pay the amount of its release clause, set at 40 million euros, while an agreement has already been reached with the player.
