Solid, patient and ruthless — Roberto De Zerbi’s men dominated Metz (3–0) with authority. A controlled performance that underlines an OM now confident, disciplined, and sure of its strength.
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.
Jérémie Pignard will officiate Strasbourg–OM, his second match with Marseille this season. Known for his strict, European-style refereeing, he’ll be under scrutiny at La Meinau.
On the eve of the Strasbourg clash, Roberto De Zerbi delivered a clear and uncompromising press conference. With just two players missing, praise for his new signings, and a warning: the real test is at La Meinau — even more than against Ajax.
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.
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.
Between a public clash at the LFP board, disputes over transfers and lingering financial rows, relations between Pablo Longoria and Waldemar Kita have hit rock bottom.
In Paris, the LFP board meeting turned into a showdown. Nantes president Waldemar Kita directly attacked Pablo Longoria, reviving the Labrune–McCourt fracture.
On the eve of Madrid, Pablo Longoria takes a stand: firm decision on Rabiot, mea culpa for his excesses, and a frontal attack on French football governance.
