Marseille supporters, banned from attending the match at the Parc des Princes, demonstrated their support by attending an open training session at the Vélodrome with chants, flags, and smoke flares.
OM coach Roberto De Zerbi emphasized the significance of the Classique, calling it more than just a regular match and highlighting the need for his players to adapt mentally and physically against a strong PSG side.
De Zerbi stressed the importance of 'suffering' and 'getting their hands dirty' to compete effectively against PSG, referencing lessons learned from their 3-0 defeat in the first meeting this season.
Key player Pierre-Emile Højbjerg will miss the match, with De Zerbi considering three replacements, including Valentin Rongier, who expressed disappointment over the absence of traveling fans.
