This Sunday at 8:45 PM (available on Ligue1+) Paris Saint-Germain (1st) will face Olympique de Marseille (7th) at the Stade Vélodrome for the 5th matchday of the 2025-2026 Ligue 1 season. In a press conference, Marseille goalkeeper Geronimo Rulli spoke about this match and their Parisian opponents. He believes they can pull off a victory.
Rulli: “I think we’re facing the best PSG team in history”
“I think we’re facing the best PSG team in history. They won almost everything last season. We aspire to beat them and reach that level. When you see that they keep progressing and remain the best even with injured players… Our club’s ambition is to aim higher, to fight for the title. We know there’s a gap between them and us, that’s a reality, but personally, I’d like to compete against them until the very end.”
Rulli: “I think it will be a great match”
“It’s different from last year, without a doubt. This isn’t my first ‘Classique’. Once you’ve played against them at the Vélodrome or at their stadium, you realize the importance. It’s a special match between the two best teams in France. I think it will be a great match. We’re preparing with a lot of enthusiasm because we know what it means for our fans. We will be much better prepared than last season.”
A ‘Classique’ match between Olympique de Marseille and Paris Saint-Germain is never just another match. For the fans, it’s not just a sporting event, but a clash of identities, steeped in history and rivalry. When Gerónimo Rulli refers to “the best PSG team in history,” he highlights the unique appeal of facing such a formidable, almost unbeatable machine, in a match where passion can sometimes tip the balance of power.
What makes this encounter truly special is the anticipation of seeing whether OM can raise its level of play, transform the perceived gap in quality into a challenge, and turn the pressure into driving force. A successful “Classique” isn’t solely about the raw talent of the players; it also rests on passion, courage, and the ability to overturn the odds, even if only for one evening.
