Last night, the classic between OM and PSG could not take place because of the weather conditions in the Bouches du Rhône. In the process, the professional football league and the two French clubs exchanged to define a date to play this shock. The Parisians and the LFP pushed so that this match was not played on Monday evening. The stable chaired by Nasser Al-Khelaïfi wanted, in fact, to be able to attend the Gala du Ballon d'Or where several Ile-de-France residents are appointed in various categories. The LFP was also of this opinion, not wishing that the classic is organized at the same time as the BO ceremony.

But OM did not hear this ear. The Olympians wanted to strictly apply article 548 of the LFP competition regulation, namely: “When the weather was unhappy, 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 set by the LFP services.” According to The teamfaced with this situation, OM was very firm and even threatened the LFP with a procedure if it decided to postpone the meeting another day. The Olympians would also have won according to our colleagues. Faced with the intransigence of the Marseillais, the LFP and the PSG gave in. The match will be played tonight at 8 p.m.
