Due to bad weather, this match had to be postponed, coinciding with the 2025 Ballon d'Or award ceremony in Paris (France). Ousmane Dembele, Bradley Barcola and Desire Doue were all unable to play due to injury.
Notably, all three players were present at the 2025 Golden Ball award ceremony instead of traveling with their teammates to play away at Marseille.

The absence of stars in the squad made it difficult for PSG at the Velodrome. In the 5th minute, from a simple cross from Mason Greenwood on the right wing, the ball hit the foot of a PSG player and suddenly changed direction and flew into the air.
Goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier, who was expected to replace Gianluigi Donnarumma, made a serious mistake when he rushed out but missed the ball, creating a perfect opportunity for center-back Nayef Aguerd. With a precise header into an empty net, Aguerd opened the scoring for Marseille.
According to statistics, this goal scored in the 4th minute became the earliest goal that Marseille scored against PSG in all competitions in the past 45 years.
After the unexpected goal, PSG pressed forward in search of an equalizer. However, they encountered a well-organized and disciplined Marseille defense. In addition, the away team's goalkeeper Rulli also had an excellent day, continuously blocking dangerous shots from the opponent.
The match ended in a 1-0 win for Marseille, marking the first time the team had won against PSG at the Velodrome in Ligue 1 in 14 years.
The unexpected defeat against Marseille not only caused PSG to experience their first loss of the season, but also caused them to lose the leading position in the Ligue 1 rankings.
Currently, the race for the title has become extremely dramatic when there are 4 clubs with 12 points: Monaco, PSG, Lyon and Strasbourg. PSG is temporarily ranked 2nd, only behind Monaco due to the inferior goal difference (10 compared to 13).
Meanwhile, with this important victory, Marseille rose to 6th place with 9 points, returning to the championship race in an impressive way.
