What people are saying
Against this kind of team, you have to be VERY TIGHT-KNIT.
I hope we win this match.
I grew up in the Paris region, in Le Blanc-Mesnil. I grew up in a family that was from Marseille. So it's a bit of a special match.
I've played against this team many times, against these great players. (…) It's the CLASICO, so it was a match we marked on the calendar every year.
