What They're Saying

Marseille defender Jeremy Morel (via Ligue 1): "I'm not going to stick close to him [Zlatan Ibrahimovic] because otherwise you won't see me behind him. I'm going to have to be more cunning than him. What makes things more difficult against big teams is that there are a lot of big individuals. You can't just focus on one player. It'll be a good test to know whether we are equipped to go all the way."

PSG defender Maxwell (via Ligue 1): "We can't let ourselves dream about what it must be like to win the treble. It will be something that we will remember forever, but we don't really want to talk about it because it can bring something negative."

Tactical Preview

Player to Watch: Morel's marking of Ibrahimovic will be key if Marseille are to hold serve at home. In 24 league appearances, the 31-year-old is averaging 2.1 tackles and 6.5 clearances.

Marseille's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Mandanda; Mendy, Morel, Fanni, Djedje; Romao, Lemina; Ayew, Payet, Thauvin; Gignac

Paris Saint-Germain's Projected Lineup (4-3-3): Sirigu; Maxwell, Luiz, Silva, Marquinhos; Matuidi, Motta, Verratti; Pastore, Ibrahimovic, Cavani
