Le Classique (English: The Classic), ^[1] also known as PSG-OM, Derby de France, ^[2] or Derby of Derbies, ^[3] is a football match that is contested between Paris Saint-Germain and Olympique de Marseille. The term Le Classique is modeled on the El Clásico, which is contested between Real Madrid and Barcelona. Like all the game's major rivalries, the antipathy between PSG and OM extends outside the pitch. The rivalry comes about as Paris and Marseille are the two largest cities in France, and the duo are the most successful and influential football clubs in the country. ^{[4] [5]}

The rivalry between Marseille and Paris Saint-Germain may not be the oldest in France's top flight, but it is undoubtedly the fiercest and most significant both on and off the pitch, being a fixture that divides loyalties right around the country. ^[5] The so-called French clásico has a historical, cultural and social importance that makes it more than a simple football game, facing capital against province and the chosen ones of French football against its enfants terribles (terrible boys). With PSG being located up north in the French capital, Paris, the rivalry is often referred to as the North versus the South due to OM playing in the southern coast city Marseille. It is the most followed football match in France, watched by millions of people in the country. ^[4]

The first edition was held on 12 December 1971 in Marseille, at the Stade Vélodrome. Les Marseillais won 4-2 on this occasion. Both teams play in the Ligue 1 and meet twice per season. The special character of these oppositions receives considerable media attention. These meetings became important at the end of the 80's and were announced especially by incidents which occurred on and around the ground. At the beginning of the nineties, Canal + started to promote near the general public confrontations between the two clubs, making these matches of interest for all French football fans. Off the pitch, the tension between Marseille and Paris fans is legendary, and both clubs' world-class stadia, the Stade Vélodrome and the Parc des Princes, respectively, are renowned for the white-hot atmosphere and fervent fans. ^[5] More and more, the various groups of Marseille and Parisian supporters have hated and battled each other. Important security measures are taken to prevent confrontations between the supporters of the two sides. However, many incidents still occur between the supporters everytime the duo meet.

Paris and Marseille are the most prestigious outfits in French football having won eleven Ligue 1 titles, eighteen French Cups, four League Cups and three Champions Trophy. Both clubs are also the only French clubs to have won European trophies, as PSG claimed the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup in 1996 and the Intertoto Cup in 2001, while l'OM landed the UEFA Champions League in 1993 and the Intertoto Cup in 2005. The duo were the two dominant forces before the appearance of Olympique Lyon at the beginning of the 21^st century, but despite their recent ups and downs, PSG and OM remain, along with Saint-Étienne, the only French clubs with a truly, faithful and passionate fan base, giving the country's biggest match a special atmosphere. ^[4]

The duo represent Paris, the national capital, and Marseille, the chief city of southern France. Many French people dislike Paris because of its dominant political, cultural and economic influence, and by extension, tend to dislike its chief football team, Paris Saint-Germain. As one of the largest and best-supported clubs, Olympique de Marseille also attracts its share of detractors.

Although the fixture is the most important in France, it is a recent one. While Les Phocéens have over a century of history, Les Parisiens are one of the youngest French football teams, celebrating its 40 years in 2010. In their first meetings there were no signs that the two would become arch-rivals, but this changed in the mid- 80's when PSG went through a historic decade, winning two French Cups and their first league title in 1986. ^[4]

Under the presidency of Bernard Tapie at OM and TV channel Canal + as the owners of PSG, the two sides, now enjoying serious investment, were able to sign the best players the transfer market could offer. The duo promptly built the two greatest teams ever seen in France. Marseille signed a large number of highly regarded players over the next few years in his pursuit of the European Cup, such as Jean-Pierre Papin, Chris Waddle, Klaus Allofs, Enzo Francescoli, Abedi Pelé, Didier Deschamps, Basile Boli, Marcel Desailly, Rudi Völler and Eric Cantona. PSG responded with the signings of Safet Sušić, Luis Fernández, David Ginola, Youri Djorkaeff, George Weah and Raí. Having long been enemies for political, cultural and economic reasons, Paris and Marseille now had another another excuse for their mutual enmity, with constant press articles that added more tension whenever the two sides met. ^[4]

Meetings between the two clubs became relevant in the late 80's and over the years Le Classique has had a big impact on the domestic game, determining the fate of many titles. For example, during the 1988-1989 season, Paris Saint-Germain and Olympique de Marseille faced each other on the last matchday of the league season at the Stade Vélodrome. With both clubs tied on points at 70, the winner of the match would be declared champions. The match was even until the final minutes of the match when Marseille midfielder Franck Sauzée scored a last minute winner giving OM the title. ^[4] This title would be the start of five straight Ligue 1 titles for Marseille, though their 5th and final title would be stripped from them due to the Bernard Tapie scandal and no winner was declared for the 1992-1993 season. ^[6] The League allotted the title to PSG but Canal + refused it. The TV chain feared the reactions of its subscribers in Provence, and threatened to withdraw football completely if the title was allotted to PSG. Ultimately the French Association Football League decided that the 1993 title would remained unattribuated. Canal + even refused letting the club participate in next year's UEFA Champions League after the exclusion of OM by the UEFA.

Three years later, another unforgettable incident happened, when PSG's Portuguese coach Artur Jorge declared that his side would "walk all over" Marseille. In order to motivate his players, President Tapie cut out the newspaper article and stuck it up in the OM's dressing room. 90 minutes later they walked away with the points. Another memorable Marseille date is 29 May 1993, three days after they had defeated Milan in the Champions League final. The European champions and league leaders welcomed Les Parisiens in a match that would decide the fate of the title. Marseille quickly fell behind but responded with three consecutive goals. One of them is without a doubt one of the best goals ever scored in the fixture to date: a 18-yard header from Basile Boli. Olympique de Marseille dominated the fixture for many years and from 1990 to 1999 they did not lose to their arch-rivals, in part because they spent two seasons in Division 2 during that time. ^[4]

PSG fans have also nice memories from their men. In 1999, PSG earned a 2-1 win over Marseille, their first over their arch-rivals in many years. Marseille would finish the season a point behind champions Bordeaux making the victory even more special for the capital club. Since then PSG has become the dominant side, achieving eight consecutive wins between 2002 and 2004, with an undefeated run that started in 2002 and lasted until 2006. In 2003, their team won all the three matches disputed that year, including two wins at the Vélodrome, one of them a 3-0 triumph made memorable by a superlative performance from Ronaldinho. In 2006, the two met in the French Cup final. While PSG was struggling to avoid relegation, OM was looking for a spot in Europe. Despite being favourites, Les Phocéens were defeated 2-1 and PSG lifted the French Cup for the seventh time in their history. PSG opened the scoring early through Bonaventure Kalou and then doubled the lead thanks to a magnficent 25 yard goal from Vikash Dhorasoo shortly after the break. OM reduced the advantage late in the game through Toifilou Maoulida, but it was too late and Les Parisiens came out triumphant. ^[4]

When PSG defeated OM at the Vélodrome on October 2008, Les Parisiens took their tally of wins to 25, just two behind Marseille. However, OM were victors at the Parc des Princes in March 2009 and then recorded two more victories, including a record breaking 0-3 win at Le Parc in February 2010, leaving Paris five wins behind them. In these 73 meetings, Marseille has scored 93 goals and PSG 89, with both sides claiming eighteen draws. Even though Les Marseillais surpass their rivals in terms of victories, the capital club possess the largest victory, a 5-1 win recorded in January 1978 at the Parc des Princes, and the longest undefeated run, with 8 wins and 1 draw from 2002 to 2005. Additionally, Pauleta is the all-time top scorer and most capped player with 6 goals in 12 appearances in Le Classique for Paris Saint-Germain.

During the summer transfer market Paris Saint-Germain was largely rebuilted, after two seasons of trying to maintain control. PSG was looking to build an ambitious project for the 2008-09 season, and this was going to be put to the test against their arch-rivals at the Stade Vélodrome. l'OM arrived unbeaten since the start of the season and with the chance to take the lead if they defeated PSG. Les Parisiens scored early through Guillaume Hoarau after a Jérôme Rothen corner. l'OM reacted and Mamadou Niang capitalized a misunderstanding in the PSG defence. Just before halftime, Mathieu Valbuena gave Marseille the lead. Early in the second half, Péguy Luyindula equalized after a good team work and signalled PSG's comeback. Later on, a Rothen free-kick evaded everyone in the area, surprising Steve Mandanda and PSG regained the lead. Just minutes later Hoarau scored again and killed off any remaining hope for OM. ^[7] Seen by 2.45 million viewers, this game broke the record of TV audience for this fixture. ^[8]

For the first time in many years, the derby was a decisive match in the fight for the league's top spot. After spending the last two seasons fighting to stay in Ligue 1, PSG have been transformed this term and now find themselves just one point behind leaders Olympique Lyonnais and three ahead of Marseille in third. One of the men responsible for their renaissance is none other than former Olympique midfielder Claude Makélélé, while PSG youth product Lorik Cana has captained OM throughout the campaign. 4-2 winners in the first clash of the season at Marseille, PSG had the chance to take the top spot if they defeated their arch-rivals after Lyon's surprising defeat to Auxerre. In the other hand, a victory for l'OM would leave them just one point behind Lyon. ^[4]

Les Olympiens opened the scoring through Boudewijn Zenden, but just before halftime, Ludovic Giuly equalized for PSG. The second-half seemed promising for Les Parisiens, but Zoumana Camara's sent off for bringing down Zenden put the match upside down for the capital club. Zenden's free-kick was blocked by Mickaël Landreau but the ball bounced onto Bakari Koné who gave back the lead for OM. Only minutes later, Lorik Cana killed off any remaining hope for PSG. ^[9] This game set a new record of TV audience for this fixture as 2.6 million viewers saw the match. ^[10]

While PSG was a squad largely descending, residing 12th in the Ligue 1, the opposite could be said of Olympique de Marseille, who climbed back into the title race after a good start to 2010. ^[2] It was a match with two different realities. Seen as favourites to win the match, Marseille enjoyed their biggest ever win and their first back-to-back victories at the Parc des Princes over Paris Saint-Germain. PSG gave as good as they got in the first half but OM ran out comfortable 3-0 winners with goals from France squad members Hatem Ben Arfa and Benoît Cheyrou with one from Lucho González. ^[11] During the match, a Paris Saint-Germain fan injured in a fight between rival factions of hooligans from the club was left in a life-threatening coma. The 38-year-old fan sustained a serious head injury ahead of the French league match between fierce rivals PSG and Marseille. Marseille went on to win the game 3-0. The clashes involved hooligans from the two main stands at PSG's stadium, the Parc des Princes, the Tribune d'Auteuil and the Kop of Boulogne. ^[12] A 30-year-old man suspected of taking part in the beating was arrested after the fight, but was later released and has not been charged because of lack of evidence. Marseille fans had boycotted the game to protest against security measures imposed on visiting supporters. After several months of relative tranquility, Boulogne and Auteuil fans, angered by their team's poor results and a mutual opposition to the club's chief backer, Colony Capital, started fighting again at the end of last year and clashed violently at Lille in January. Following the incident, the capital club, through Robin Leproux, reported that won't make available tickets to their fans for away games until further notice following the beating of a supporter before a French league match. French league president Frédéric Thiriez fully supported the measures announced by Leproux. French Sports minister Rama Yade will have a meeting with PSG officials in the coming days while Leproux will meet Paris's police prefect. ^[13] On 18 March 2010, Yann L., the club supporter that was injured by rival factions of PSG fans during the club's 3-0 loss to Marseille last month, died in the hospital after being in a life-threatening coma since 28 February. Yann, member of fan group Kop of Boulogne was attacked by another PSG group, the Supras Auteuil. ^[14] Following news of Yann L.'s death, PSG and the LFP announced that the capital club will now play all of their next three fixtures behind closed door. These include a trip to Nice, a midweek Coupe de France visit to in-form Auxerre and their next scheduled home match, which is against Boulogne. ^[15]

When it all seemed that Olympique de Marseille would take home the 1990–91 European Cup and became the first French club to win a European Cup, Red Star Belgrade of Yugoslavia defeated OM in a penalty shoot out. After normal time and extra-time could not separate the two sides, the match was to be decided on penalty kicks. Manuel Amoros' miss for the French side proved crucial, as Red Star held their nerve to win their first European Cup. ^[16]

Although, this time the European Cup was denied, the glory would eventually come for Olympique de Marseille. In the 1992–93 season, when the European Cup was renamed the UEFA Champions League, Marseille reached the final for the second time in three years, but this time they prevailed. Les Olympiens won Group A and suddenly found themselves in the final against Milan. Basile Boli hit home the winning goal in the 44th minute, winning the Champions League for l'OM, becoming the first French side to win a European Cup. Their fans greeted the triumph by chanting "A jamais les premiers" (Forever First). These chant refers to the fact that they won the first match against PSG in 1971, which ended in a 4-2 win for a Marseille team inspired by Roger Magnusson and Josip Skoblar. ^{[4] [17]}

However, soon after Olympique de Marseille's victory allegations of match fixing were levelled at them and their president Bernard Tapie. This involved a league game where OM, it emerged, had fixed their title-clinching Ligue 1 game against US Valenciennes so they could concentrate on the Milan tie. It is believed that Tapie bribed Valenciennes to lose so that OM would win the French league earlier, giving them more time to prepare for the Champions League final. This resulted in Marseille being stripped of their league title by the French Football Federation (although not the Champions League, as the match in question was not in that competition). They were also forcibly relegated to the Division 2, and banned from defending their European title in the 1993–94 season. ^{[18] [6]}

For their part, the 90's proved very fruitful for PSG, when they were bought by TV channel Canal+ in May 1991. Now enjoying serious investment, the capital outfit were able to set their sights steadily higher. Two seasons later, PSG was back in European action, this time in the UEFA Cup. The capital club accomplished an unforgettable campaign defeating PAOK in the first round, Napoli in the second round, Anderlecht in third round and Real Madrid in the quarter-finals, before PSG's bête noire (Black Beast), Juventus, ended the dream in the semi-finals. Despite this, Les Parisiens were experiencing a great decade and they contested two UEFA Cup Winners' Cup finals, winning in 1996 and ending runners-up in 1997. In the 1995-96 term, PSG celebrated its 25th birthday and, after three consecutive European semi-finals, the capital club won the second and last French European title, beating Rapid Wien in the final of the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup with a Bruno N'Gotty's freekick. ^{[19] [20]}

Despite a younger squad, the side qualified for a second consecutive European final against Ronaldo's Barcelona in the 1996–97 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup. The final was held at Feyenoord Stadion in Rotterdam on 14 May 1997. Barcelona won the match 1–0 thanks to a Ronaldo penalty. The final saw the last instance of the Cup Winners' Cup "jinx" - that no club had successfully retained the cup in successive seasons- with PSG failing to defend the trophy that they won in 1996. ^[21] Between 1992 and 1998, the capital club also reached the UEFA Champions League semi-finals once and twice advanced to the same stage of the UEFA Cup. ^[19]

Currently, Olympique de Marseille is the club with the larger following in France, 20% of football fans, and Paris Saint-Germain, tied with Olympique Lyonnais, is far behind, with 11%, according to a survey in August 2009 by Le Point. The next team in the list, Girondins de Bordeaux, is close behind with 10%. ^[22] Worldwide, l'OM are also the most popular French club, followed by PSG and Lyon. ^[23] As of April 2010, Marseille and Paris are, respectively, the second and third richest clubs, only surpassed by Lyon. ^[24] The duo were also two of the 14 founder members of the now-defunct G-14 group of the leading European football clubs and are members of its modern replacement, the European Club Association. Marseille's average home gate for the 2008-09 season was 52,276, the highest in the Ligue 1, followed by Paris with 40,902. ^[25]

In 1994, PSG was ranked 1^st in the Club World Ranking made by the International Federation of Football History & Statistics, ^[26] and in 1996, the capital club was also ranked 1^st in the UEFA coefficient of Top Clubs. ^[27] The capital club is the only French club to ever achieve these honours. Meanwhile, l'OM reached the 3^rd spot in 1993, their highest since the creation of this ranking. ^[28]

From 1993 to 1997, Paris Saint-Germain finished in the top ten of the Club World Raking (9^th in 1993, ^[28] 1^st in 1994, ^[26] 6^th in 1995, ^[29] 10^th in 1996 ^[30], and 8^th in 1997 ^[31]). The IFFHS also publishes a ranking taking into account the results over the past twelve months. PSG has been five times 1^st in this mensual rankings. ^[32] Taking into account the period from 1991 to 2009, Paris is ranked 25^th globally, being the highest ranked French club after Olympique Lyon. ^[33] As of 31 March, 2010, PSG and l'OM are ranked 153^rd and 60^th, respectively. ^[34]

• 8 January 1978 - Paris Saint-Germain 5-1 Olympique de Marseille : the rivalry does not exist yet, but the PSG victory over OM crushed Les Phocéens title aspirations. Led by Carlos Bianchi and Mustapha Dahleb, and coached by Jean-Michel Larqué, PSG dedicated this match to their chairman Daniel Hechter, dismissed for a case of double ticketing.

• 5 May 1989 - Olympique de Marseille 1-0 Paris Saint-Germain : during the 1988-1989 season, PSG and Marseille faced each other on the last matchday of the league season.

This title would be the start of five straight Ligue 1 titles for OM.

• 20 December 1992 - Paris Saint-Germain 0-1 Olympique de Marseille : both clubs are at the top of the table. Just three years later another unforgettable incident came, when PSG's Portuguese coach Artur Jorge declared that his side would "walk all over" Marseille. In order to motivate his players, President Tapie cut out the offending newspaper article and stuck it up in the l'OM dressing room. 90 minutes later they walked away with the points thanks to the goal of Alen Bokšić.

• 29 May 1993 - Olympique de Marseille 3-1 Paris Saint Germain : three days after they had defeated Milan in the UEFA Champions League final. The European champions and league leaders welcomed Les Parisiens in a match that would determine the fate of the title. OM quickly fell behind only to hit back with three quick goals. Among them was undoubtedly one of the best goals ever scored in the fixture to date: a stunning 18-yard header from Basile Boli. At the end of the match, angry PSG fans threw flares to the Ganay tribune and several people were injured. However, soon after Marseille's victory allegations of match fixing were levelled at them. It is believed that Tapie bribed Valenciennes to lose so that Marseille would win the French league earlier, giving them more time to prepare for the Champions League final. This resulted in Marseille being stripped of their league title by the French Football Federation, they were also forcibly relegated to the Division 2, and banned from defending their European title in the 1993–94 season. ^{[18] [6]}

• 8 November 1997 - Paris Saint-Germain 1-2 Olympique de Marseille : both clubs were showing big ambitions for this season and had build up their team with good players. Jérôme Leroy responded Xavier Gravelaine's goal in the first half.

Laurent Blanc transformed the penalty giving OM the victory. ^[35]

• 4 May 1999 - Paris Saint-Germain 2-1 Olympique de Marseille : despite having made a disastrous season that saw the sacking of three coaches and two presidents, PSG earned a 2-1 win over Marseille, their first over their rivals in many years. A fight between residents of Virage Auteuil and Marseille supporters happened a few hours before the game. OM's strong start was re-compensated thanks to a goal of former PSG player, Florian Maurice, seizing Bruno Carotti's mistake. Although Bordeaux was winning at the same time in Lens, OM's partial victory over PSG was enough to claim the title. But a 20 yard shot from Marco Simone equalized for PSG, and two minutes later, Bruno Rodriguez scored the second and winning goal, giving the capital club the victory and ending a long season. The fact that Marseille would finish the season a point behind eventual champions Bordeaux made made the triumph even more special for the capital side. After disturbances in the streets OM's supporters, the club had to pay a fine of 5 million francs. ^[36]

• 15 February 2000 - Olympique de Marseille 4-1 Paris Saint-Germain : While PSG achieved a UEFA Champions League spot, OM was trying to avoid relegation. Christian quickly opened the score for PSG. The turning point came after the expulsion of Jérôme Leroy (OM) and Laurent Leroy (PSG). Supercharged by the atmosphere, Marseille equalized through Sébastien Pérez and outperform their arch-rivals by scoring three goals in the second half and eventually winning 4-1. The victory avoided OM's relegation. ^[37]

• 26 October 2002 - Paris Saint-Germain 3-0 Olympique de Marseille : the match was played early in the season and was less decisive. PSG began well in the league, while Marseille was looking, after several seasons, to get a fresh start. Led by a great Ronaldinho, the capital club dominated the whole match and eventually won it 3-0. The victory in Le Classique allowed PSG to take the sole lead of the championship. ^[38]

• 9 March 2003 - Olympique de Marseille 0-3 Paris Saint-Germain : six months later of the PSG's victory in Le Parc, the situation had changed. While Marseille was fighting for the title, PSG was stucked at mid-table and put all their efforts in the Coupe de France. Despite this, Les Parisiens were victors at the Stade Vélodrome for the first time in 15 years. The match ended 0-3 for the capital club thanks to a superlative performance from Ronaldinho and Jérôme Leroy. ^[39]

• 30 November 2003 - Olympique de Marseille 0-1 Paris Saint-Germain : after three victories last season over Marseille, PSG began well in the league thanks to the great defensive performance, while OM had difficulties alternating league and European matches. Although Marseille dominated the whole match, a shot from Pauleta pushed out by Vedran Runje wasn't enough to avoid Fabrice Fiorèse's goal and PSG's fourth consecutive victory over Les Olympiens. ^[40]

• 7 November 2004 - Paris Saint-Germain 2-1 Olympique de Marseille : despite Les Parisiens great 2003-2004 season, which saw the capital club taking home the Coupe de France and finishing runner-up in the league, two key players, Frédéric Déhu and Fabrice Fiorèse left PSG for Marseille. Therefore, PSG carried out a massive recruitment during the summer transfer market. After an error by the police, OM bus is bombarded with objects and some windows were broken. Midway through the first half, PSG's Sylvain Armand was sent off for an non-existent dangerous tackle over Fabrice Fiorèse. The latter was booed the entire match and when he was substituted, Paris fans, outraged by his transfer to their arch-rivals, whistled and chanted him out. With ten men, PSG resisted and opened the scoring through Pauleta. In numerical superiority, Les Phocéens equalized just before halftime thanks to Laurent Batlles's goal. In the second half, PSG outperform their arch-rivals and Edouard Cissé scored the second goal from a 25 yards range. Deep in stoppage time, Koke missed a great opportunity to equalize and OM had to bow again to PSG. ^[41]

• 10 November 2004 - Olympique de Marseille 2-3 Paris Saint-Germain : three days after PSG's 2-1 victory in the league, the capital club travelled to the Vélodrome for the Coupe de la Ligue' round of 16 match against Marseille. Vahid Halilhodžić, PSG's coach, was leading a largely rebuilt team and OM quickly scored twice through Benoît Pedretti and Habib Bamogo. Les Parisiens reduced the advantage just before halftime and then equalized through Branko Bošković, and in injury time Bernard Mendy scored the winning goal after an error from Bixente Lizarazu. This was PSG's eighth consecutive victory over OM. ^[42]

• 5 March 2006 - Paris Saint-Germain 0-0 Olympique de Marseille : OM's President, Pape Diouf, decided to send a team composed mostly of players from CFA squad to Paris, in protest against the security measures at the Parc des Princes and the non-compliance with quota places. No one thought that l'OM would left Le Parc with points. Les Olympiens surprised a pale PSG team, sinking in the league, and left with one point. ^[43]

• 29 April 2006 - Olympique de Marseille 1-2 Paris Saint-Germain : the duo met in the 2006 French Cup final. While PSG was struggling to avoid relegation, OM was looking for a spot in Europe. Despite being favourites, Les Phocéens were defeated 2-1 and PSG lifted the French Cup for the seventh time in their history and moved above Saint-Étienne (6 wins) in the record books. PSG opened the scoring early through Bonaventure Kalou then doubled the lead thanks to a magnificent 25 yard goal from Vikash Dhorasoo shortly after the break. OM reduced the advantage late in the game through Toifilou Maoulida, but it was too late and Les Parisiens came out triumphant. ^[44]

• 10 September 2006 - Paris Saint-Germain 1-3 Olympique de Marseille : PSG started with difficulties the 2006-2007 campaign and did not win a game during August 2006. In the other hand, OM had been displaying a very offensive team with the likes of Franck Ribéry, Samir Nasri and Mamadou Niang. During the previous matches, Les Parisiens were victims of their own defensive mistakes. In the match against Sochaux, the capital club conceded two penalties (the first saved by Mickaël Landreau and the second transformed by Karim Ziani for a final 3-2 defeat). Mamadou Niang opened the score from the penalty spot, but through another penalty, this time for the home side, Pauleta equalized for PSG before the break. In the second half, Marseille increased the tone and Samir Nasri scored the second goal. Then late in the game, Mickaël Pagis took advantage of PSG's defensive errors and scored the last and definitive goal. With this result, OM were victors at Le Parc for the first time since October 1999. ^[45]

• 26 October 2008 - Olympique de Marseille 2-4 Paris Saint-Germain : during the summer transfer market PSG was largely rebuilted, after two seasons of trying to maintain control. The capital club was looking to build an ambitious project and this was going to be put to the test against their arch-rivals at the Vélodrome. Marseille arrived unbeaten since the start of the season and with the chance to take the lead if they defeated PSG. Les Parisiens scored early through Guillaume Hoarau after a Jérôme Rothen corner. OM reacted and Mamadou Niang capitalized a misunderstanding in the PSG defence. Just before halftime, Mathieu Valbuena gave Marseille the lead. Early in the second half, Péguy Luyindula equalized after a good team work and signalled PSG's comeback. Later on, a Rothen free-kick evaded everyone in the area, surprising Steve Mandanda and PSG regained the lead. Just minutes later Hoarau scored again and killed off any remaining hope for OM. ^{[7] [46]} Seen by 2.45 million viewers, this game broke the record of TV audience for this fixture. ^[8]

• 15 March 2009 - Paris Saint Germain 1-3 Olympique de Marseille : PSG had the chance to take the top spot if they defeated their arch-rivals after the surprising defeat of the leader Olympique Lyonnais. In the other hand, a victory for Marseille would leave them just one point behind Lyon. Les Olympiens opened the scoring through Boudewijn Zenden, but just before halftime, Ludovic Giuly equalized for PSG. The second-half seemed promising for Les Parisiens, but Zoumana Camara's sent off for bringing down Zenden put the match upside down for the capital club. Zenden's free-kick was blocked by Mickaël Landreau but the ball bounced onto Bakari Koné who gave back the lead for OM. Only minutes later, Lorik Cana killed off any remaining hope for PSG. ^{[9] [47]} This game set a new record of TV audience for this fixture as 2.6 million viewers saw the match. ^[10]

• 28 February 2010 - Paris Saint Germain 0-3 Olympique de Marseille : while PSG was a squad largely descending, residing 12th in the Ligue 1, the opposite could be said of Olympique de Marseille, who climbed back into the title race after a good start to 2010. OM lost only twice since the winter break, while Paris started 2010 with four defeats in their first four league games, coupled with an embarrassing loss to Guingamp in the Coupe de la Ligue, had left the capital club under pressure, with the fans seeing Colony Capital as guilty while Antoine Kombouaré had not received any criticism. ^[2] It was a match with two different realities. Seen as favourites to win the match, Marseille didn't disappoint and enjoyed their biggest ever win and their first back-to-back victories at the Parc des Princes over Paris Saint-Germain. PSG gave everything in the first half but OM escaped with a comfortable 0-3 victory thanks to goals from Hatem Ben Arfa, Benoît Cheyrou and Lucho González. ^[11] During the match, Yann L., an 38 year-old PSG supporter that was injured by rival factions of Paris fans during the match, died in the hospital after being in a life-threatening coma. ^[14]

At the beginning of the nineties, Canal+ started to promote near the general public confrontations between the two clubs, making these matches of interest for all French football fans. More and more, the various groups of Marseille and Parisian supporters have hated and battled each other. Important security measures are taken to prevent confrontations between the supporters of the two camps. However, many incidents still occurred at the supporters of the two camps at the time of certain matches.

While the number of players who have played for both sides is surprisingly high considering the enmity between the clubs (Marseille's current squad features five former Parisians and Paris's three former Marseillais), a player's transferring directly from one club to another is seen as high treason. ^[5] Treason has in fact happened in different ways: transfers, players out of contract, or exchange. The latter was used in 1990 when the great hope of French football Jocelyn Angloma from Paris Saint-Germain was exchanged for Bernard Pardo, Bruno Germain and Laurent Fournier.

In 2004, Frédéric Déhu left PSG, which then was vice-champion of France and was qualified for the UEFA Champions League, for a Olympique de Marseille side without European action but that would pay him twice the amount he earned at the capital club. ^[56] That same year, Fabrice Fiorèse was transferred to l'OM in stormy conditions, went from being a fan favorite to being the most hated. He was effectively whistled and chanted out of a Clasico by Paris fans outraged by his transfer to their arch-rivals.

In 2006 and 2009, although previously declaring they will never play for OM, Modeste M'bami and Gabriel Heinze joined Les Phocéens. In 2005, there was a change of coach at the capital and Lorik Cana fell out of favour. This prompted him to move to the south of France.
