Since his arrival at Olympique de Marseille in the summer of 2024, Pierre-Emile Højbjerg has found his feet. Now perfectly integrated, the Danish midfielder, who discovered both Ligue 1 and the world of Marseille, quickly adapted to his new environment.
The Copenhagen native quickly measured the intensity of the rivalry with Paris Saint-Germain. Aware of what it represents for the supporters, he strives to proudly defend the colors of OM in the championship as well as during the Classics, like the success obtained this season against the French champion (1-0), on September 22.
“We still want to beat them”
“Paris has just won the Champions League by showing great things. But we want to beat them, we want to be in front of them. We have already beaten them this season, but we want to beat them again. It’s not easy, but we do what we can to have the best Olympique de Marseille possible.”he assured.
Højbjerg, however, prefers not to get too far ahead of the final ranking, at the risk of seeing his words come back to him in the face. “If Marseille will finish ahead of Paris this season? I know what you want me to say (laughs). But I won’t give it to you, I won’t tell you what you want”he blurted.
