The experience of a football match in Argentina is almost unmatched for the raw passion of the crowd, the spectacle in the stands

Yet if there is one place in Europe that can match it then it might be the Velodrome in Marseille, where fiery Argentine coach Jorge Sampaoli now prowls the touchline while up to 65,000 supporters generate a spine-tingling atmosphere.

“Le Classique” — as it is sometimes known — is the biggest fixture in French football, and on Sunday it will have a distinctly Argentinian flavour. They have a proud history, and in Sampaoli they have a man capable of giving new hope to a city obsessed with “l’OM”. Sampaoli, like Bielsa before him, can be seen pacing nervously up and down his technical area during games at the Velodrome. In contrast Pochettino usually cuts a cooler figure.

“It is good to have Leo here. Everyone will want to watch the French league, but in reality it also creates a huge difference in power,” Sampaoli said at the time.
