Summary
Marseille lost 1-2 to PSG at the Vélodrome in a Classique that remained competitive for long stretches. Bruno Genesio's side resisted throughout the first half and created several clear chances, with Neal Maupay spurning a significant opportunity. Igor Paixao was forced off injured before the half-hour mark.\n\nPSG broke the deadlock through Torres in the 63rd minute, but Gomes levelled within six minutes with a well-taken finish following Højbjerg's recovery and Gouiri's pass. Marquinhos's quick response at 74 minutes and Weah's subsequent dismissal ended Marseille's hopes. The performance was more convincing than the recent loss to Besiktas, but the result leaves the club in alarming form ahead of the international break.
