It would have been necessary to spoil the party on Monday evening. But while the Parisian camp celebrated the Ballon d'Or won by Ousmane Dembélé and the PSG raid -five Parisian players in the top 10, best coach, best club … -Luis Enrique's men bowed on the lawn of the Vélodrome stadium in the closing match of 5e daytime.

The Marseillais probably did not regret having put pressure on Sunday to obtain the postponement of the match scheduled for Sport on Sunday. And this despite the concomitance of the Golden Ball ceremony. Thanks to this victory, the men of Roberto de Zerbi indeed ended an incredible scarcity.

The sky and white had no longer taken it to the Vélodrome against its sworn enemy for no less than fourteen years, its last home victory against the capital's club dating back to November 2011 when the OM had corrected PSG thanks to Loïc Rémy, Morgan Almafitano and André Ayew.

Precedents disturbing for PSG

This victory acquired on Monday is only the third of the Marseille team against its Parisian enemy since the acquisition of PSG by Qatar. During the 2020-2021 season, OM had indeed come to prevail at the Parc des Princes thanks to a goal from Florian Thauvin.

And these two defeats were heavy with consequences for Parisians. In the spring of 2012, PSG had indeed seen Montpellier win the title of champion of France with three lengths ahead of the Blet Rouet and in 2021, it was Lille who was crowned champion, this time with a single length ahead. Enough to give birth to a mad hope among the Marseille supporters, who want to believe in the pass of three.

After five days of the league, PSG must be satisfied with the 2e Place, with 12 points on the clock, AS Monaco ahead of European champions thanks to a best attack.
