The classic between Olympique de Marseille and Paris Saint-Germain, initially scheduled for Sunday evening, was postponed to Monday 8 p.m. due to extreme weather conditions. In the early evening, Marseille was struck by a violent thunderstorm accompanied by heavy rains, giving rise to impressive images of flooded streets and bursts sweeping the city, fully justifying the prefectural decision to secure the public and the players.
The bad weather also forced PSG to adjust its organization: the Parisian club returned to Paris on Sunday evening and will hit the road for Marseille at the end of the morning in order to be present at the Vélodrome. On the Marseille side, the rapid postponement allowed the club to maintain its training program while calmly preparing the reprogrammed match, under safer conditions for the expected 65,000 spectators.
