OM v PSG: Balerdi delighted for the fans after a long wait | OneFootball

This Monday evening, Olympique de Marseille hosted Paris Saint-Germain for the 5th day of Ligue 1, a match postponed due to major weather conditions at the Vélodrome. With a heavily reshuffled team due to injuries on the Parisian side, a small mistake by Lucas Chevalier gave the advantage to the Phocaeans, who won by the narrowest of margins (1-0, see the video summary), after 14 years of Parisian domination. Leonardo Balerdi, Marseille's central defender, spoke to the Ligue1+ channel following this historic victory for the Olympians.

Balerdi: "We didn't want to let them play"

14 years since you last won here?

It's madness, the supporters deserve this. We do too because we always work for this. We are happy, really happy.

Was the plan perfect?

We came here at home with this mentality. We didn't want to let them play and I think we did it well. We worked hard and it paid off.
