The expectation was however immense: on the one hand Parisian players eager to be forgiven by their supporters for their last big game of the season, on the other an ambitious Marseille team after a series of 8 straight wins and a qualification for the semi-finals of the Europa League conference.

Alas, the shock between PSG and OM made pschitt, and the gloomy atmosphere of the Park without any chant descended from the turns did not help the actors to transcend themselves.

Thierry Henry almost fell asleep

“I almost fell asleep.

Already there is no atmosphere in the stadium, the actions were not terrible, and we saw two mistakes by the goalkeepers, ”said Thierry Henry on Prime Video, while the former Parisian Éric Rabesandratana, consultant for France Bleu, mentioned on twitter "the worst clasico in history, a parody of football, the worst match of PSG this year".

It's a bit harsh, considering that we've seen classics turn into trench battles quite recently, but certain statistics reinforce this bitter impression.

10 - There were only 10 shots in #PSGOM (7 for Paris, 3 for Marseille), the lowest total in a Ligue 1 game this season.

Shy.

The meeting resulted in only 10 shots attempted, the worst total of the L1 season after 320 games played, according to Opta, our constitutional council of statisticians.

And PSG only had the ball 42% of the time, their worst possession since February 7, 2021 and another classic win against OM (2-0).

Knowing that OM, for their part, have multiplied the passes to ten to take as little risk as possible – “playing otherwise would have been suicidal” according to Sampaoli – you can easily imagine the purge that you did well to miss, for those who have had this chance.
