– This Sunday evening will be held in Marseille, the Classico between OM and PSG as part of the 27th day of Ligue 1. A meeting which marks the start of a dense and crucial period for the capital’s players .
Classico evening! As part of the 27th day of Ligue 1, Olympique de Marseille hosts Paris Saint-Germain at the Vélodrome stadium this Sunday evening. The Parisians, who enjoy a comfortable lead at the top of the championship, will try to continue their series of victories against OM who are currently experiencing a slight slump. A busy and crucial period for the Parisians who are playing a large part of their season over the next 15 days.
Even if the Classico is a separate match, PSG will play other, much more important matches soon. On Wednesday, Paris will face Rennes in the semi-final of the Coupe de France. Then there will be the double confrontation against Barcelona in the quarter-final of the Champions League. A very extensive program but also very motivating for the men of the Parc des princes. “I think we have the opportunity to have a special year and everyone in the club is conditioned by that. It will take a lot of strength and determination to get there,” says Kylian Mbappé.
Triple objective
Before thinking about the Euro, the PSG captain dreams of offering a treble of the Coupe de France, championship and Champions League. If the title seems acquired in Ligue 1, there are still many steps to take to get there. “The Coupe de France is not far away, the European Cup the road is very steep. This is the season where everything is at stake for them and which should not be missed”, underlines the Europe 1 consultant, Alain Giresse. Above all, Paris does not want to miss out on the Champions League, a competition that the Qatari leaders have been desperately trying to win since their arrival in the capital.
