Definitely, this Sunday has many surprises in store. Threatened for a few days due to the bad weather that fell on the Bouches-du-Rhône this Sunday, the classic between PSG and OM was finally postponed a few minutes ago on directive of the prefect of Bouches-du-Rhône. “The match is postponed because there can be strong precipitation with significant risks of urban runoff in and around a velodrome of 65,000 places which promised to be crowded”explained Georges-François Leclerc to AFP. Consequently, the date of postponement of this shock was enough to make people talk.
“”When, due to bad weather, the match could not start, it is handed over, or when it was definitively interrupted, it resumed from the minute to which it was interrupted, the next day (excluding extreme conditions), at a schedule fixed by the services of the LFP», Stipulates article 548 of the LFP regulation. But now, due to the Golden Ball ceremony to be held this Monday in Paris and the great chances of seeing Ousmane Dembélé being rewarded for the Supreme title, the time was for reflection in the highest bodies of French football.
The classic postponed to Monday 8 p.m. … at the same time as the Ballon d'Or
And finally, the Professional Football League made its decision. Indeed, the latter decided to go in the direction of its regulation and postponed the match to this Monday 8 p.m. on Monday. Paris Saint-Germain will therefore have to play this important meeting at the same time as the ceremony which could reward its last grand season. OM, eager to postpone the match this Monday, therefore won the case and the Paris delegation will therefore have to make a choice between going to Paris or Marseille.
One thing is certain: PSG players and Luis Enrique, who could have accompanied Ousmane Dembélé and Désiré Doué in order to be highlighted too, will not be there in Paris. They will nevertheless be able to see their teammate, a big favorite in the Ballon d'Or, be rewarded after their match in Marseille which will end in the blows of 10 p.m. In the event of refusal to participate in this meeting, the club of the capital engages in a general package which would give a victory on the green carpet to the Marseillais. A perspective that seems distant at present.
