OM/PSG – Diacre insists the Classico doesn’t exist | OneFootball

This Friday, the women's teams of Paris Saint-Germain (2nd) and Olympique de Marseille (9th) will face off at Stade Francis Turcan (broadcast on Canal+Foot) at 7 PM during the 9th day of the Arkema Premier League 2025-2026. A match discussed by Marseille coach Corinne Diacre in a press conference.

A statement that might upset some supporters, who are very attached to this rivalry rooted in French football. But one can understand what Diacre is saying. There is already a gap on the men's side, and it's a chasm in the women's division. Especially since OM, while improving, has never been in the race for titles. In terms of sports, the two clubs are simply not in the same category. It's a realistic observation.

That doesn't prevent some feelings. For example, one might suspect that the Marseillais would make themselves heard in case of an upset. The rivalry cannot be completely dismissed. This communication can also serve as protection for the Marseille group before a match that could be very challenging.
