Marseille and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) are set for a pivotal clash in the French football title race, scheduled for Monday. Initially intended to be played on Sunday, the match was postponed due to inclement weather, sparking discontent among PSG’s players and staff. The rescheduled game means that the team’s participation in the Ballon d’Or ceremony in Paris will be compromised. This event is significant, with PSG’s Ousmane Dembélé and coach Luis Enrique as notable contenders for the awards.
Entering the match, Marseille aims to close the gap between them and league leaders PSG, currently trailing by six points early in the season. The game will take place at Parc des Princes, starting at 8 p.m. CET, which translates to various time zones worldwide, including 7 p.m. BST in the UK, 2 p.m. ET in the US and Canada, and 4 a.m. AEST in Australia.
João Neves, PSG’s Portuguese midfielder, is highlighted as the joint top scorer in Ligue 1, famously scoring a hat-trick against Toulouse.
