« PSG 2024 is like Marseille 1993, » says Marcel Desailly

Marcel Desailly, former player of Marseille, believes that PSG has all the chances to win the Champions League this season.

The OM of 1993 and PSG of 2024 have many similarities, according to Marcel Desailly in L’Equipe. According to the former Marseille player, Paris resembles greatly the team that won the Champions League at that time.

Why? Because the selection has been made. « We all love Real Madrid, but I think Bayern has a chance and PSG too. In recent seasons, they had a lot of top players. It reminds me of Marseille from my time. We won the first Champions League for French football when no one expected it. There had been a real decline in terms of player quality. And suddenly, we did it. »

« Paris lost Neymar, Messi, but they can create surprise and surprise everyone in football. But Madrid has something special. You’ve all seen it in the past, no matter what happens during the match. Real can be behind, concede two or three goals, they always come out of it. They can win their 15th Champions League. »
