Over the seasons, the poster has become one of the most enticing for basketball lovers. JDA Dijon vs ASVEL Lyon-Villeurbanne. A shock, almost a “Classic”
often found at the top: in play-off semi-final
the last season, final
the year before. In the final of the French Cup 2021
in the final of the Leaders Cup 2020
. And who, once again, for the third year in a row in the regular phase, turns to the advantage of Jeanne, despite the difference in status and budget. Saturday November 19, the Dijonnais won 95-90, with a final and an anthology turnaround. Two weeks after beating leaders Monaco, Dijon bring down another Euroleague team. Unbelievable. Perfect.
