The clasico is Parisian. The clasico is blue and red. PSG won (1-0) against its historic rival, Olympique de Marseille, this Sunday, October 16, 2022, at the Parc des Princes. After several unsuccessful attempts, it was Neymar who unlocked the Parisian counter and scored the only goal of the game, from the inside of the foot at the very end of the first half (45 + 2), applying the proverb: flat foot , security. A goal scored on a pass from Kylian Mbappé.
A smashed bar and a red card
The first minutes of this 101st clasico are Parisian. The attacking trio of PSG manages to find itself in the Marseille half of the field but stumbles on the Marseille goalkeeper, Pau Lopez. A Parisian domination which does not necessarily translate into the statistics since at the quarter of an hour of play, possession of the ball is 50/50. It continues to push until the 35th minute with a sublime free kick from Lionel Messi which smashes the bar of the Marseille goalkeeper.
The Parisians were hampered during part of the match by the high pressing of Igor Tudor’s men, which did them a disservice since many times Lionel Messi’s partners were able to break Marseille’s pressing and find flaws in the Marseille defense. . The Parisians were helped by Samuel Gigot’s red card in the 72nd minute, after a sliding tackle on Neymar. This victory is a very good operation for the Parisians: they are still leaders but with three points ahead of the second, Lorient, and especially 6 points margin on the Marseillais.
