Neymar returned to Marseille after recovering from covid-19, but at the same time PSG was missing Kylian Mbappé, who showed a positive test after the Nations League game against Sweden last week.
Despite the star forward’s absence, PSG ‘Le Classique’ started better, but suffered an unexpected setback after just over half an hour when Florian Thauvin tipped his foot and made it 1-0 on a volley.
In the 61st minute, Angel Di Maria came in from the right with the intention of giving Paris the lead, but his great shot hit the crossbar.
Four minutes later, Dario Benedetto suffered the same, when Thauvin was judged offside before the goal. However, that assessment seemed more dubious than the first.
– You have to look at that. Otherwise, it’s a shame about the Argentine (Benedetto), commentator Robert Perlskog said on Viaplay.
“Scandal match” when PSG fell to Marseille
But the referee did not change the decision and Marseille had to settle for a goal in the match. At the same time, PSG were scoreless and Marseille took the match home.
This is the first time since 2011 that PSG has lost the prestigious “Le Classique” match.
But Marseille’s crushing victory tonight had to be put aside by the strong emotions that characterized the match at the Parc des Princes. The referee dealt a total of fourteen yellow cards (two of which resulted in red) and three red in a row.
The match ended with a great fight, where PSG’s Layvin Kurzawa appeared to kick an opponent. Marseille’s Kurzawa and Jordan Amavi received a red card each after the situation. Neymar also received a red card, after hitting a Marseille player with his fist.
– This is a scandalous match, said commentator Robert Perlskog.
