Marseille Rivalry

Andre Villas-Boas did well to ease the pressure ahead of the new season. The Portuguese manager claimed PSG were contesting in a ‘different league’ in reference to their wealth and riches. Having relieved the pressure off his club about Le Classique, Marseille boss inadvertently turned his focus towards another high-note derby his club is involved in.

Derby de France against PSG might be the biggest game in the country but Marseille are also involved in what’s called Olympico, against Olympique Lyonnais. Also referred to as the Choc des Olympiques, matches between Marseille and Lyon are quite different to blood-boiling clashes with PSG.

The Olympico rivalry stems from pure competitiveness of the clubs’ players, managers and supporters in regards to fight for high-standard supremacy. This rivalry dates back to 1945, long before PSG were even established (1970) and therefore carries great importance for both sets of supporters.

Marseille History

Olympique de Marseille were founded in 1899, seven years after Rene Dufaure de Montmirail established an omnisport club with a primary focus on rugby. Football began gaining pace under the influence of English and German people from the French Sports Union USFSA and it was in the early 1900’s that Olympique de Marseille started making a name for themselves.

Marseille have spent most of their football history playing in the highest tier of French football. Moreover, they are the first and only club to win the European crown, in 1993 after beating Milan 1-0 in the UEFA Champions League final.

The Olympians, as Marseille are also known, play their matches at Stade Velodrome, which is a 67,000-seater venue situated in the southern part of the city. In addition to their Champions League title, Marseille also have nine Ligue 1 titles and 10 Coupe de France medals.
