The Ligue-1 encounter between Olympique Marseille and Paris Saint-Germain on Sunday evening was canceled due to a thunderstorm forecast. Actually, the game of the fifth game day at 8:45 p.m. should be kicked off, “a Mediterranean episode with heavy rain and thunderstorms” does not make this set possible. This was decided by the prefect of the Bouches-du-Rhône department.
The weather forecasts would “indicate heavy rains in the whole country between 7 p.m. and 10 p.m.”, “at the beginning and end of the game, which should attract almost 70,000 fans in the Stade Vélodrome,” says a press release. The league and the clubs OM and PSG were informed in advance about the cancellation.
A new appointment has not yet been determined. An OM spokesman told the news agency “AFP” the hope of taking the game on Monday. Champions League winner Paris, started the season with a flawless record of four victories, is currently being planned by a few injury worries. Ousmane Dembélé, João Neves, Désiré Doué and Bradley Barcola were therefore not nominated for the squad. Marseille scored six points from his first four games.
