Present at a press conference this Thursday, Roberto De Zerbi spoke about his squad at the start of the season but also about Paris Saint-Germain, which has remained the team to beat for several years. The Italian manager said he wanted to compete with the capital club.
” To eventually compete with PSG? That’s our dream. When? I don’t know. But of course, that’s our ambition, otherwise you don’t come to OM. Now, we’re still under construction. Paris has achieved great things in recent years. We can’t pretend either, of course, that we want to compete with Paris. No one must forget that at OM, and I’m not just talking about the players,” he told reporters.
The Classic on October 27th
Paris Saint-Germain are the big favorites to succeed themselves this season in Ligue 1, and despite the departure of Kylian Mbappé to Real Madrid. OM will try to thwart their great rival this season. The first meeting between the two teams will take place on October 27 at the Stade Vélodrome. The Phocéens will want to reverse the trend.
Last season, Luis Enrique’s men tamed the Olympians in the first leg at the Parc des Princes with a score of 4 goals to 0 and in the return leg with a score of 2 goals to 0.
