Lionel Messi will get his first taste of French football's biggest rivalry when Marseille host Paris Saint-Germain later on Sunday, with the Ligue 1 leaders kicking off six points clear at the top from Lens in second.

Paris Saint-Germain’s Argentinian forward Lionel Messi fights for the ball with RB Leipzig’s US midfielder Tyler Adams during the UEFA Champions League first round Group A football match between Paris Saint-Germain’s and RB Leipzig, at The Parc des Princes stadium, in Paris, on October 19, 2021.

PSG have won nine of their 10 league games so far this season but they will get a hot reception at the Velodrome, where a sell-out crowd of around 65,000 is expected to attend the fixture known as ‘Le Classique’. Marseille, whose coach Jorge Sampaoli managed Messi with Argentina at the 2018 World Cup, can go third in the table if they can beat their bitter rivals.

Youcef Atal got one back for Nice with nine minutes left before Lyon had Zimbabwe forward Tino Kadewere sent off. Kevin Volland scored the opener for the principality side before setting up Wissam Ben Yedder to make it 2-0 from a delightful cross with the outside of his boot.
