It had been expected for a few hours, it is now official: the shock between Olympique de Marseille and Paris Saint-Germain is postponed.
Initially scheduled this Sunday evening, at 8:45 p.m., at the end of the 5th day of Ligue 1, this meeting was postponed due to the risk of bad weather.
Violent thunderstorms are expected in the south-east of France this Sunday evening and the risk of maintaining this classic was deemed too high in current conditions. The region's prefecture has confirmed this postponement.
Why is the classic postponed?
“The match is postponed because there can be strong precipitation with significant risks of urban runoff“, Can we read in an official press release.
It remains to be seen when this very media encounter can be fixed. The regulations of the Professional Football League first provide a postponement within 24 hours, but weather conditions could cause a later date.
