Time for Le Classique!
Paris Saint-Germain are now fully focused on Week 11's huge Ligue 1 clash against Marseille - Le Classique, this Sunday at 21:00 CET at the Stade Vélodrome.
Classique, Act I! This Sunday, the capital club take on their eternal rival for the first time in this 2018-19 season. The aim for Les Rouge et Bleu is to continue a run of 17 matches inthout defeat in all competitions against Marseille (14 wins, 3 draws). After the 2-2 draw with Napoli on Matchday 3 of the UEFA Champions League and a light training session on Thursday, Thomas Tuchel's men began preparing in earnest this Friday at the Ooredoo Training Centre.
It's obviously an important match for Juan Bernat, who could take part in his first ever Classique. "My teammates have spoken to me about this match," explained the Spanish full-back. "I know these types of matches and I know about the rivalry between Paris and Marseille. We know that these are important matches for everyone and it will be a big game. It's my first, but I know it's the biggest match of the league season."
Paris will also be looking to equal the record for the most wins at the start of the season in Europe's big 5 leagues that currently stands at 11, set by Tottenham in 1960-61. With a 100% record in Ligue 1 with ten wins from ten, Les Rouge et Bleu can draw level with Spurs with another win on Sunday…
