9th: It’s Marseille’s turn to push
The response of the Marseillais is not long in coming, OM obtain three corners in quick succession. There is fire in the Paris area but PSG manages to get away.
7th: Paris does not release the pressure
Paris put a lot of pressure and chained the corners. On the third, shot by Messi on the left, Bailly clears with a header. Against Marseille does not give anything in stride.
4th: Mbappé already hot
First Parisian offensive, Vitinha finds Mbappé on the left in the box. The Parisian striker tries to overtake Tavares, who counters his strike. Corner to follow.
3rd: A lot of intensity at the start of the match
We were waiting to see how the Marseillais were going to position themselves, Rongier is evolving well in a hybrid role between central defense and midfield. Bailly is almost individually on Mbappé, while the Parisians are well 5-3-2.
1st: Let’s go to the Velodrome!
It was the Parisians who kicked off this Classic! Coach Didier Deschamps was seen in the stands, a sign of the importance of this shock.
20:41
The Classic will start soon!
The players enter the lawn of the Vélodrome, accompanied by the referee of the match, Clément Turpin. Nice hugs between Mbappé and his Marseille teammates in the France team, Veretout, Guendouzi and Clauss.
20:39
Back, Mbappé can still hurt OM very badly
In eleven Classics, Kylian Mbappé has already scored 7 goals. He is the second best Parisian scorer (tied with Edinson Cavani) in this big poster, behind Zlatan Ibrahimovic (11 goals).
20:35
The atmosphere is boiling at the Vélodrome
20:34
Meanwhile, Bayern…
This confrontation against OM must also serve as a rehearsal before one of the most important matches of the Parisian season, March 8 in the 8th return of the Champions League. 10 days from this European shock, the Bavarians hit hard in the Bundesliga.

Paris wants to continue, Marseille to get closer
After three losses in a row, the Parisians found their way back to success last Sunday against Lille (4-3). Galtier’s players are only 5 points ahead of their first pursuer, OM. The Marseillais are surfing on a good dynamic and three consecutive victories.
20:06
Donnarumma booed by the Velodrome
The goalkeeper is the first to enter the lawn, and to suffer a huge broncho from the Vélodrome. A little preview of the welcome that awaits the Parisians this evening.
20:01
The PSG eleven for the Classic!
In the absence of Achraf Hakimi, Christophe Galtier trusts Nordi Mukiele as the right piston in a 5-3-2. Presnel Kimpembe accompanies Sergio Ramos and Marquinhos in central defense. Absent in the last match lost by Paris to Marseille in the Cup, Kylian Mbappé will be there tonight in attack, alongside Lionel Messi. Neymar is injured.
Donnarumma – Ramos, Marquinhos (cap), Kimpembe – Mukiele, Vitinha, Verratti, Ruiz, Mendes – Messi, Mbappé.
19:58
The composition of OM is known!
The Marseillais evolve in a system with three centrals, with perhaps a big surprise: the usual midfielder Rongier could play central defender. Unless it’s Sead Kolasinac? We will carefully follow the positioning of the Marseillais at the time of kick-off. Eric Bailly replaces Chancel Mbemba, suspended.
Pau Lopez – Bailly, Rongier, Balerdi – Tavares, Guendouzi, Veretout, Kolasinac – Under, Malinovsky – Sanchez.
19:54
PSG expected at the turn
Paris will know at the end of a Classic more burning than ever if it can dream of an exciting end to the season or remain in a gloom that only Kylian Mbappé can chase away.
