Marseille builds momentum after PSG triumph

The win marks Marseille’s second consecutive league victory, following their crucial 1-0 win over Paris Saint-Germain on Monday. PSG had been without several key players attending the Ballon d’Or ceremony, where Ousmane Dembélé was crowned and coach Luis Enrique received the 2025 Johan Cruyff Award for Best Coach.

Climbing to the top of the table

With the victory, Marseille temporarily moved to the top of the standings with 12 points, level on points with Monaco, PSG, Lyon, and Strasbourg but ahead on goal difference. Despite two defeats earlier this season, the southern club has regained momentum.

First win against Strasbourg since 2022

This result is Marseille’s first away win of the season and their first victory over Strasbourg since 2022, reflecting a promising turnaround despite a rocky start that included defeats to Rennes and Lyon and a Champions League loss to Real Madrid.
