Les meilleures teams de street football de la région parisienne s’affrontaient hier soir à la Cité de le Mode et du Design lors de la finale Paris du tournoi Nike Football X, avec à la clef un billet pour la finale européenne à Amsterdam. Et c’est l’équipe Danube qui l’a remporté au dépend de nos amis de la team Caméleons, qui remettait son titre de champion en jeu. Bonus de la soirée, les 2 rappeurs français Niska et Gradur se sont affrontés sur le bitume avec respectivement leur équipe Charo et Sheguey. Petits ponds, crochets et passements de jambe, ils ont déchaîné le public, ballon au pied, avant de prendre le micro pour remettre le feu sur leur terrain préférentiel.
