Watch Olympique Marseille vs Paris Saint-Germain Live Streaming
French sides may have won three games from three in the Champions League in midweek, but such is the draw of the ‘Clasico’ that it was already capturing headlines as Girondins de Bordeaux and even Marseille were still basking in the glory of Wednesday’s successes.
Quite simply, in French football it doesn’t get any bigger than this, and the media draw this match has created is really quite phenomenal.
Of course, it’s somewhat clichéd to say that form goes it out of the window in such games, and Marseille will certainly play down their role as favourites on Sunday night, but last season’s two terrific encounters between these sides certainly proved that anything is possible in the ‘Derby de France’.
OM are seeking revenge after slumping to a 4-2 defeat at the Stade Velodrome last season, losing at a time they seemed primed to challenge seriously for the league title. Although that match would not have any direct significance in the run-in, les Phoceens’ early season form was arrested by the shock defeat.
Revenge was gained in the capital several months later, PSG sunk by goals from Boudewijn Zenden, Bakari Kone and Lorik Cana as they could muster only a reply from Ludovic Giuly.
