PSG-OM, Act II. While Marseille won the first classic of the season (1-0), last Monday in Ligue 1, the two rival clubs will meet in January for revenge. This time on the occasion of the Champions Trophy, which will oppose the French champion this year to its runner-up since Paris Saint-Germain also won the French Cup in 2024-2025.

Heaven and white which could also be deprived of Geoffrey Kondogbia (Central African Republic), Amine Gouiri (Algeria), Hamed Junior Traoré (Côte d'Ivoire) and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Gabon).
A new lunar decision on the part of the LFP with a PSG-OM which is supposed to constitute its most beautiful showcase. Last Sunday, already, following the bad weather that affected the south of France, his choice to postpone the classic in the next day at 8 p.m., at the same time as the Golden Ball ceremony having devoted Ousmane Dembélé, had been controversial.
