Dimitri Payet has claimed that Marseille are a bigger club than Paris Saint-Germain.
PSG might have a raft of international stars, including the world’s most expensive player in Neymar, and have dominated the French domestic scene in recent years, but Marseille retain an incredible support and are the only Ligue 1 club to have won the Champions League.
The sides have forged an intense rivalry over the years and meet at Parc des Princes on Sunday, and Payet has stoked emotions prior to that encounter.
“I’ve said it before, but I play for the biggest French club,” the 30-year-old said.
