NAME: Marseille – PSG
DATE: 8 Feb 2023
TIME: 20:10 UTC
VENUE: Stade Velodrome — Marseille, France
A clash between two in-form sides promised an entertaining finale to the latest round of Ligue 1 fixtures, but it was Didier Digard’s Nice who came up trumps, as Sofiane Diop, Gaetan Laborde and Billal Brahimi rendered Ruslan Malinovskyi’s powerful effort inconsequential.
Seeing their 10-game run without defeat come to an end is not what the doctor ordered for Marseille before a clash of the titans with PSG, but with an under-performing Lens only managing a 1-1 draw with Brest at the weekend, Les Olympiens remain second in the Ligue 1 table as attention turns to the knockouts.
Tudor’s side have posted a 2-0 win over Hyeres and a 1-0 success over Rennes to make it to the last 16 of the Coupe de France, although the former contest was marred by Eric Bailly’s inexcusable high challenge on Almike Moussa N’Diaye, hospitalising the stricken midfielder and receiving a seven-game ban for his troubles.
Ten-time winners of France’s premier cup competition, Marseille have gone 33 years without lifting the trophy aloft since beating Monaco in the 1989 final, and they have failed to progress beyond the quarter-finals since losing the 2016 showpiece match to – you guessed it – PSG.
Even with Neymar and Kylian Mbappe both watching on from the medical room, it was a day of spectacular goals at the Parc des Princes during PSG’s showdown with Toulouse, whose midfield fulcrum Branco van den Boomen opened the scoring with a smart, low free kick that caught out Gianluigi Donnarumma unawares.
However, two of the likely suspects for PSG bailed the champions out of trouble, as Achraf Hakimi unleashed a rocket into the top corner to level the scores seven minutes before the break, and a trademark Lionel Messi strike into the bottom corner sealed a nervy win for the hosts early in the second period.
Marseille possible starting lineup:
Lopez; Mbemba, Gigot, Kolasinac; Clauss, Rongier, Veretout, Kabore; Guendouzi, Malinovskyi; Sanchez
Paris Saint-Germain possible starting lineup:
Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Ramos, Mendes; Vitinha, Verratti, Ruiz; Messi; Neymar, Ekitike
