Press review: Marseille back on track ahead of PSG clash | OneFootball

This Thursday, February 4, the French press (on the sports aspect) focused on nothing directly related to Paris Saint-Germain, with priority given to the 2025-2026 Coupe de France round of 16 this week. Nonetheless, there is the 3-0 victory of Olympique de Marseille last night, which allows OM to regain some positivity before their trip to Parc des Princes this Sunday for the conclusion of the 21st day of Ligue 1.

Le Parisien –

No article on PSG, it's Paris FC that is highlighted with its Coupe de France round of 16 match tonight against Lorient.

L’Equipe –

This is not insignificant for the Classico, with an OM that was under heavy pressure after being eliminated from the Champions League and the draw conceded in the last minutes against Paris FC in Ligue 1. An elimination yesterday would have been hard to endure and would have put immense pressure before facing PSG.

There will still be pressure, as this Classico is crucial for the standings and the serenity of each club. The Parisians have the "advantage" of having time to rest and prepare. But Marseille played as early as Tuesday, which is not so bad in view of Sunday. And we know that victory helps to recover faster.
