Severe Weather Delays Marseille vs PSG Match to Monday Night

BREAKING: The highly anticipated match between Marseille and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has been postponed due to severe weather conditions threatening the region. Officials from the Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP) just announced that the game, originally scheduled for tonight, will now take place on Monday, October 2, 2023, at 8 p.m. local time (1800 GMT) at the Stade Velodrome in Marseille.

The decision comes as French weather forecasters predict heavy rain and storms for this evening, creating unsafe conditions for players and fans. This weather-related delay not only impacts the match but also significantly alters the plans for many PSG players who were set to attend the prestigious Ballon d’Or ceremony in Paris on Monday night.

Striker Ousmane Dembélé, a top contender for the award, along with teammate Désiré Doué, are among the notable absentees due to injuries and were excluded from coach Luis Enrique’s squad for the match against Marseille. This postponement could leave PSG without several key players as they face a busy schedule ahead.

PSG currently stands out as the only unbeaten team in the league this season, having won all four of their opening matches. Their last dominating performance was a 5-0 victory against Inter Milan in the Champions League final, showcasing their form and strength.

As the soccer world watches, the implications of this weather delay raise questions about player morale and team dynamics heading into a crucial week. The match against Marseille will be pivotal for PSG as they aim to maintain their winning streak.
