It is a poster which has retained all its electricity, despite the economic gulf between the two clubs. Next Sunday, the resumption of Ligue 1 will be marked by tension with a new Classic between Olympique de Marseille and Paris Saint-Germain. The rivalry between the two most popular and divisive teams in French football is born in the 1990s, when Bernard Tapie democratized the term Classic to reinforce the attractiveness of the poster in a period when PSG was managed by Canal +, the championship's broadcaster.

“What blows did I give him!” »

If we had to identify two symbols of the Classics of this era, Eric Di Meco and David Ginola would have the job profiles. A defender renowned for his virility, Di Meco was able to break out to stop the elegant Ginola.

“My favorite opponent was David Ginola. We see each other often, he lives in Aix now, we talk about it among ourselves, told the RMC consultant. How many blows did I give him! And not just regular punches either, I remember once in 1991, I was so possessed, I hit him with a right hand… And yet, he always came back, technical, powerful… He had everything. I find that it has never been judged at its true value. In any case, taking into account the marking, it was an ordeal! “.
