The Choc des Olympiques (Clash of the Olympics), also known as the Derby des Olympiques (Derby of the Olympics), is the name of the football rivalry between two major teams in French football with "Olympique" in their names – Olympique Lyonnais and Olympique de Marseille. The French major football broadcaster Canal+ has referred to the match as the "Olympico", in reference to El Clásico, a name that has gained in popularity among fans and the media. It specifically refers to individual matches between the teams. Unlike Le Classique, the rivalry has no bad blood within it and, instead, stems from the competitiveness of the each club's players, managers, supporters, and presidential hierarchy. The rivalry is often cited as being particularly important as both clubs are of high standard in French football and the championship is regularly decided between the two. Marseille and Lyon (along with Saint-Étienne and Paris Saint-Germain) are the only French clubs to have won the French first division four straight times with Marseille doing it on two occasions. The Rivalry is also comparable with that of between Borussia Mönchengladbach and Borussia Dortmund better known as "Borussen Derby" in Germany. From Wikipedia
