MARSEILLE, France – Nayef Aguerd opened teh scoring for Olympique de Marseille against Paris Saint-Germain in a highly anticipated “Classique” at the Vélodrome stadium Sunday evening. The match, kicking off at 8 p.m. local time, is unfolding as Marseille seeks to stabilize a rocky start to the season while league-leading PSG (1st, 12 points) aims to extend its dominance. Simultaneously, Paris will host the 2025 Ballon d’Or ceremony at the Théâtre du Châtelet, where Ousmane Dembélé is a strong contender for the prestigious individual award.
The evening represents a pivotal moment for both clubs. Marseille, currently 8th with 6 points, needs a strong performance against their arch-rivals to build momentum under new manager Roberto De Zerbi. PSG, the reigning European champion, looks to maintain its position atop Ligue 1 and potentially celebrate further success with Dembélé’s potential Ballon d’Or win. The dual event underscores France’s central role in European football, with both club and individual accolades on the line.
