On Sunday night, Paris Saint-Germain were held to a goalless draw by Olympique de Marseille in the first Le Classique of the season.
It wasn’t a great game, and the word "classic" won’t be mentioned in the same breath as the match that was endured at the Parc de Princes.
Part of that was the tactics used by new Marseille boss Rudi Garcia, but some of the blame has to go to PSG manager Unai Emery and the way he set up his side on Sunday.
There was something of a surprise when he named Adrien Rabiot in the starting lineup, despite it being well deserved.
