OM: Amine Gouiri returns the favor to Roberto De Zerbi

Olympique de Marseille has finally shattered one of its longest-standing taboos. Fourteen years after their last league victory over Paris Saint-Germain, the Phocéens toppled their historic rivals at the Vélodrome on Matchday 5 of Ligue 1 McDonald’s. In just the 5th minute, Moroccan defender Nayef Aguerd, freshly arrived from West Ham, scored the game’s only goal, sealing a win as precious as it was unexpected.This victory, beyond the sporting feat, restores hope and pride to the Marseille faithful, who had been frustrated by a difficult start to the season. Roberto De Zerbi’s men now sit sixth with nine points, while PSG remain joint leaders with twelve. The irony of the fixture list: as Paris stumbled in the south, Ousmane Dembélé delivered his club its very first Ballon d’Or—a night of contrasting fortunes, with individual glory and collective disappointment.
