Locker-room whispers, injuries, vibes from La Commanderie.
Turpin will referee Metz-OM this Saturday — a familiar face for Marseille fans. Renowned for his authority and precision, the French official often divides opinion in the South.
Injured against Ajax, Facundo Medina will be out for around two months. But the Argentine warrior quickly reassured OM fans with a message full of courage and determination.
OM opened the weekend with a key win at Strasbourg, but Lyon’s smash-and-grab at Lille changed the race. PSG and OL share top spot, with Marseille sitting 3rd.
Sent off in stoppage time of the Classique, De Zerbi gets a one-match ban plus one suspended. Logical on paper, but another Ligue decision full of contradictions.
No “threats,” just common sense: by invoking Article 548, OM ensured the Clasico would be played Monday night. PSG and the league had to bow down.
Storms and postponement didn’t change the outcome: OM won the first round off the pitch. Backed by the rules, Paris had no choice but to yield.
Postponed due to storms, OM–PSG was already a calendar headache. But PSG’s idea to play at 3 or 5 p.m. on a Monday set off a storm of its own — and Daniel Riolo didn’t hold back on RMC.
After Sunday’s weather chaos, the Classique has been moved to Monday night at the Vélodrome. Marseille and Paris will clash as planned, under even more tension.
Between unpredictable weather, LFP regulations, and an overloaded schedule, rescheduling the Classique is already turning into a real headache.
The Bouches-du-Rhône prefecture has taken an exceptional decision: tonight’s OM–PSG clash at the Vélodrome has been cancelled because of violent storms and heavy rain, with safety concerns for the 70,000 expected fans.
