Paris Saint-Germain cruised to a 5-0 victory over Olympique de Marseille (video highlights PSG/OM) this Sunday at the Parc des Princes in Matchday 21 of the 2025-2026 Ligue 1 season. Following the match, broadcaster Ligue 1+ will air exclusive footage on Friday at 6 PM. An excerpt has already been released, showing Ousmane Dembélé (the 28-year-old PSG forward) publicly criticizing Leonardo Balerdi (the 27-year-old Marseille defender) to his teammate Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg (the 30-year-old midfielder).
“Balerdi is rubbish! You know it! He’s always running his mouth!”
These are strong words, typical of the trash-talking and banter found in elite sports, whether you like it or not. Dembélé clearly had a bone to pick with Balerdi, and we particularly enjoyed their exchanges on the ball.
But we suspect the players are far from exchanging pleasantries on the pitch, and Balerdi has already demonstrated this in that regard. It’s all part of the game; the important thing is to own up to it afterward. We now await the other exclusive images from this Clásico.
