3 Unmissable Reasons to Watch Le Classique (PSG vs. OM)
Le Classique isn’t just another game—it’s a clash of pride, history, and pure football passion. Over the past decade, PSG has only lost once at home to Marseille in this fiery rivalry, in that infamous match where Neymar was sent off after a heated altercation with Álvaro González. The Parisian giants have dominated their southern rivals for years, and their recent battle in the Champions League against Liverpool will shape their mindset for this showdown. Riding high after knocking out the English side, PSG enters Le Classique with sky-high confidence. Marseille fans had hoped to greet them with a mocking rendition of You’ll Never Walk Alone, but now they’ll have to rely on their own chants to try and take down the northern powerhouse.
