Marseille - Paris Saint-Germain 2:0 (halftime)
Two and a half weeks after the 2:1 loss at the Stade Velodrome and elimination in the round of 16 of the Cup, Paris Saint-Germain returns to the scene of the crime to meet its bitter rival who wants to challenge it in the league as well.
The champion has already lost five times in all the frameworks in 2023 (as in all of last year) and in the previous cycle was saved from a home embarrassment thanks to a dramatic turnaround in 3:4 against Lille.
In light of the ban on the entry of outside audiences in the loaded games, PSG fans cannot come to the velodrome, but they made up for it with 35 thousand spectators who attended the final training session.
Neymar joined Ashraf Hakimi and Renato Sanchez on the sidelined list, while captain Marquinhos returned to the 11.
Christophe Galtier was absent from several training sessions due to illness and without him the team practiced with five players in defense, with Nordy Mukiele who returned after about a month gaining priority over the young Warren Zaire-Emery, and on the left Nuno Mendes who overcame the injury.
Kylian Mbappe, who was not present in the loss at the Velodrome in the cup, started at the edge alongside Lionel Messi who is still waiting for a goal or first assist in "La Classic".
Marseille already proved themselves against PSG in the cup and won nine of the last 11 league games, but the two in which they lost points were at home (1:1 against Monaco and a 3:1 loss to Nice).
Igor Tudor placed midfielder Valentin Rongier as a stopper, given the absence of the injured Samuel Zigo and the yellowed Chansel Ambamba.
Ruslan Malinovski and Matteo Ganduzi are back in the lineup and Alexis Sanchez continues in the squad.

the progress of the game
5th minute: Mbappe lifted from the left, Fabian deflected and the ball made a high arc towards the goal, where Pau Lopes was ready and headed for the corner.
13th minute: Kimpamba was injured while dropping to the defense to stop a Marseille attack, he needed treatment and the medical team immediately signaled a substitution.
The brakeman, who came back from a serious injury, was taken down on a stretcher and Danilo took his place.
25th minute: Goal!
Messi sent a smart pass to Mbappe, who in front of the goalkeeper did not fail and kicked in.
0:1 to Paris Saint-Germain.
28th minute: Bai scored an equalizing goal, but the referee immediately disqualified him due to early hand contact.
29th minute: Goal!
The champion went on a deadly burst from the left, Mbappe crossed and Messi got ahead of Lopes and scored his 700th goal in the clubs career.
A quick 0:2 to Paris Saint-Germain and this is the ninth time the two have scored against each other this season - more than any other duo in the league.
Minute 33: Messi had to complete a pair after another outburst and preparation by Mendes from the left, but from six meters he kicked over the goal.
Minute 39: Every burst creates a situation for the champion, when this time Messi put between two Mbappe and put him in front of the goalkeeper, but Lopes came out well and stopped.
Minute 40: Marseille are simply shocked.
Marquinhos spotted an empty area, moved towards it and suddenly found himself alone in front of Lopes, but kicked a flat ball that missed the crossbar by inches.
Minute 42: Here is a chance for Marseille as well.
Tavares broke free on the right and kicked a spinning ball that went wide of the post.
12 goals and 11 assists this season in the league.

Monaco - Nice 3:0
A crushing knockout of the guest, who won at the Stade Louis II for the first time since September 2014 and interrupted Monaco's streak of four victories.
Yet Moffi, who did not score in his first three games since arriving from Lorraine, this time provided the goods in a big way.
The Nigerian striker celebrated a debut goal in the eighth minute of the Riviera derby, completed a brace in a burst in the 26th minute and returned a pass to Kafran Toram who shot the third in the 43rd minute.
Philippe Clemons responded with a four-way substitution at the break, bringing on Alexander Golovin and captain Wissam Ben Yedar, among others, but the result remained the same.
Nice is already in seventh place and undefeated in the eight games with Didier Digar, who received a permanent appointment at the weekend until the end of the season.
Dreamy half.

Reims - Toulouse 0:3
Will Steele's magical journey continues.
The 30-year-old English-Belgian coach who arrived at Reims as Oscar Garcia's assistant and took his place, has already counted 17 league games without a loss.
This time he took revenge on the team that knocked him out in the round of 16 of the cup about two and a half weeks ago (3:1) thanks to a wonderful start by the Japanese Jionya Ito, who scored in the fourth minute and scored for Marshall Montesi three minutes later.
The Japanese added another assist with a corner kick that found the head of captain Younis Abdelhamid (69) who celebrated his first goal of the season.
Toulouse closed off the scoring for the first time after 10 rounds and the 10th ranked winner is now five points ahead of them.
Rhymes doesn't stumble.
