Marseille vs Le Mans

The only French club with a European Cup: Munich, 1993, Basile Boli's header beating the great Milan side, a fact painted on half the walls in the city. Papin's goals lit the era before it; the Vélodrome holds sixty-seven thousand and behaves like twice that ever since. Droit au but, straight for goal, has been the motto for a century and doubles as a description of the city's temperament. Le Classique against PSG is France's biggest fixture, and Marseille consider themselves the country's real football capital, whatever the map says.
