The Olympique de Marseille is preparing to face Paris Saint-Germain with a small workforce and significant medical uncertainties. Geoffrey Kondogbia is in doubt for shock, suffering from a calf problem, while Nayef Aguerd is uncertain due to concussion protocol. In addition, the match could be postponed due to storms in Marseille, although the prefecture confirmed that the match would continue if weather conditions worsened. Despite these challenges, the team relies on the unwavering support of its supporters, an essential driving force for the club, as its coach Luis Enrique pointed out.

Prior to the match, Luis Enrique stressed the importance of the link between the team and the fans, highlighting the energy and support they provide, even in difficult times. He described this connection as a constant source of motivation, which continued despite defeats in the Champions League. This proximity to supporters is seen as a major asset, especially in times when the team dominates the game.

At the same time, attention is focused on the next Ballon d’Or 2025, which will be presented by France Football. Former PSG player Ronaldinho was chosen for this symbolic task, a nod to his own glorious past at the Paris club. For his part, Luis Enrique has humorously designated Ousmané Dembélé as his favourite, highlighting his evolution and growing talent. This unexpected response reflects his style and affection for the young player.
