"Nayef Aguerd scored on his Marseille debut against Lorient but did not travel to Madrid because of concussion protocols, with the Morocco defender returning this time. "His health comes first and then we'll see," said manager Roberto De Zerbi, adding that on-loan Bournemouth midfielder Hamed Traore will be out for "a few weeks". Marseille were immediately behind PSG almost throughout last season as the Parisiens breezed to the title,"
"'We have a strong team with strong and experienced players,' the Italian added, reflecting on comprehensive defeats in the fixture in 2024/25. 'It's different from last season. It won't be my first Classique. We realise the importance of this match - it's special, the whole of France is watching. These are the two best teams in France. 'We're preparing for it with a lot of enthusiasm. There's a gap between us and them, but I'd like to fight with them until the end.'"
"Last season's top two in Ligue 1 meet on Monday in a hastily rescheduled game after a storm warning caused the match to be postponed on Sunday. Paris Saint-Germain have made a flawless start in their five games in 2025/26, including a 4-0 home win over Atalanta in their Champions League opener. Marseille went ahead at Real Madrid before losing 2-1 in their first game of the league phase and are looking to beat PSG at home for the first time in 13 attempts."
