It's the big night !

This Sunday, April 17 marks the end of the 32nd day of Ligue 1 with the classico PSG-OM.

The match promises to be very heated.

The Parc des Princes is full as an egg, but the reception of Parisian supporters for their team risks being quite icy.

"A very important match"

Indeed, PSG are only three wins away from a tenth league title and they welcome their most hated rival tonight.

But the new disillusionment in the Champions League does not pass.

It will therefore be the strike of encouragement tonight, for the Ultras from the Auteuil stand, despite the presence from the kick-off of the three stars of the team Messi, Mbappe, Neymar.
