Press review: Marseille v PSG lacks bite, Dembélé leads | OneFootball

This Sunday, September 20, the French press (regarding the sporting side) focused on Paris Saint-Germain’s trip to face Olympique de Marseille tonight at the Stade Vélodrome as part of Matchday 5 of the 2026-2027 Ligue 1 season. It is a highly anticipated fixture, but less exciting than it once was. There was also a word on the personality of Ousmane Dembélé (29-year-old forward), as well as coach Luis Enrique’s management.

Le Parisien –

L’Equipe –

Matches between OM and Paris remain special, and we do not want some media outlet telling us that this evening matters less to us. But it is understandable that, from the outside, it feels less spicy, since the sporting gap is quite clear this season. Marseille are on the verge of crisis and cannot even fill their stadium. That is also the case tonight, out of fear of a bad evening. A warning on the Paris side though: football is not that simple. Nothing is won in advance.

But we are still counting on a determined team, and coach Luis Enrique has clearly emphasized the importance of the match. Both because of its history and because of the standings, as PSG must climb back toward 1st place. Dembélé should once again set the example in terms of effort, as we are now used to. There is also competition for everyone, which pushes players to outdo themselves. Here too, we are not really surprised since Luis Enrique has always been clear.

As for the Ultras present at PSG’s Campus, you can find images here of this great moment, while Parisian supporters are banned from traveling to the Vélodrome.
