Hours before Le Classique, rumors swirl about Marseille’s possible strategy: provoking an incident at Parc des Princes to secure a forfeit victory.
Is OM Willing to Go to Extremes?
According to Pia Clemens (Ici Paris IDF), Marseille could attempt to take advantage of potential crowd trouble at Parc des Princes, aiming to get the game stopped and awarded to them.
Adding fuel to the speculation, a representative from the LFP was present at the pre-match meeting, which is unusual. As per L’Équipe, they reminded officials that the referee alone has the authority to stop the match if incidents occur in the stands.
PSG’s Concerns: A Double Standard?
PSG officials are wary of this potential move, feeling that they are treated unfairly compared to other clubs. Despite recent efforts to improve stadium security, Paris believes it faces stricter scrutiny than others.
With tensions rising ahead of the high-stakes showdown, how the match atmosphere is handled could play a decisive role in the final outcome.
Kickoff: Sunday, 20:45 CET.
