From our special correspondent at the Parc des Princes,

For its first big poster since its creation, the new Téléfoot channel hoped to offer a football recital to its spectators on the occasion of this Classic between PSG and OM.

Instead, she will have had the right to a pitiful spectacle - in terms of acting at first, behavior in the second - between 22 actors more occupied with settling their accounts based on gnons and insults than playing the game. ball.

On arrival, Parisians and Marseillais do not emerge grown up from an evening placed under the sign of shame and which will have seen the cards raining down (fourteen yellow, five red).

The Parisians had however warned: after the "chambering" of Dimitri Payet on the evening of the defeat in the Champions League final against Bayern, Thomas Tuchel's men were going to respond on the field to the number 10 Marseillais.

We are still waiting ... Despite a start to the match rather well controlled by the reds and blues, we quickly felt that the tension could quickly win out over the game. After a first cleat sent by Sakai, Neymar gradually lost track of the game. match and his clash with Dimitri Payet (8th) first, then with Alvaro Gonzalez then, were definitely going to switch this meeting to the dark side of stupidity.

And in this little game, the champions of France really did not have to be ashamed of their performance.

I had planned to watch kid's karate after the match, so I'm going to bed I got a 2 in 1 tonight 👌🏼😂

Paris got into it all alone

The opening score of OM by Florian Thauvin combined with an inability to be truly dangerous against the cages pushed the PSG players to show the worst face of themselves, like this ignoble sole of Leandro Paredes on Payet just a minute after coming on. From there it was no longer football at all.

Let's be honest, the Marseillais were not choirboys on Sunday night either and if Gonzalez's racist insult against Neymar is proven, it could even cost the Marseille defender very, very dearly.

However, the Parisians did not need anyone on Sunday to shoot themselves in the foot and chain a second defeat in a row in as many games this season.

To be honest, this deleterious atmosphere of gang warfare was not to displease the Marseillais who only had to take out the popcorn while watching the minutes tick by on the notice board.

The score being to their advantage, there was no reason to enter the self-destructive game of the Parisians.

“Honestly, we didn't want to get into the game of provocation”, explained Florian Thauvin after the match.

“We saw that they came out of their match, it allowed us to put in place what we had worked on,” confirmed his colleague Dimitri Payet in the process.

Paredes pin

In passing they will be able to thank Paredes, whose entry into play in place of Idrissa Gueye signed the death warrant of PSG.

The Argentine, so far hailed for his fighting mentality, his grinta or even his vice, was only a caricature of himself on Sunday night.

Guilty of a first fault which could have earned him a direct red card, the former Zenith Saint Petersburg player was then at the origin of the general fight which broke out at the end of the match and cost the Parisians three red cards (two to Marseillais).

Paredes must still think more about showing his footballing qualities with the ball rather than his delusions and gross mistakes.


After a while that's enough today he broke the rhythm at a time when he had to push and try to come back through his nonsense

An unforgivable professional misconduct since there was still time for Paris Saint-Germain to return to this match.

Paredes should also hear about the country in the coming days because, if it was not directly pointed out by Leonardo, the speech of the Parisian sports director after the meeting left little room for doubt on the continuation of the events: “The match was out of control (…) I am not going to defend indefensible behavior.

We lost our minds.

I'm not even going to comment on what happened.

The fight is very serious.

We will manage with our players internally.

Everything will have to be judged to take a coherent position, but the situation is serious.

"

For his part, Thomas Tuchel preferred to take on the role of the

good cop

, even if he did not fail to say that he did not like the reaction of his players in the last three minutes.

“It was too much, I don't like it,” he admitted before giving us a kind of excuse in the form of socio-cultural analysis for dummies: “We are a team with a lot of South Americans. , a mentality that also gives us special things.

We are a very emotional mix, it is also a strength ”.

Sunday evening, this so-called force turned against his men and here is the 17th PSG in Ligue 1 with zero points in two games.

One slap, one more.
