This Sunday evening, at 9 p.m., Olympique de Marseille will host Paris Saint-Germain in the closing match of the ninth day of Ligue 1. Adrien Rabiot will be particularly expected at the turn, on the occasion of his reunion with his training club, in which he spent almost seven seasons, between 2012 and 2019.

Could certain former players of the capital club who worked alongside the Blues midfielder during this period blame him for having joined the Marseille city? This is obviously not the case for Javier Pastore. “For him, the best solution was to go there. I am no one to criticize his choice. He is a boy that I respect and love very much. I hope the best for him. We had a great time together. These are choices. If he thinks it’s best for his career and his future, I agree. It will be complicated to see him with another jersey, but that’s life,” explained the Argentinian international this Sunday in the “Stephen Brunch” show on RMC.

Pastore is betting on a victory for PSG against OM

Concerning the poster for this Sunday evening, “El Flaco” is banking on a victory for his former club but keeps certain reservations. “It’s always risky, recalls the 34-year-old, who is not yet officially retired. Any Classic is a different match than any other. Marseille has a great team but I have confidence in Paris. There are individuals who technically can hurt. I will watch the match as a supporter. »

In August 2011, Javier Pastore was PSG’s first big recruit under the Qatar Sports Investments era. Purchased for 42 million euros in Palermo, “El Flaco” remained in the capital of France for seven seasons.
