Aguerd’s Goal Leads Marseille to Stunning Victory Over PSG in Le Classique

Marseille stuns PSG with Aguerd’s early strike

Marseille, France – September 2025: In a thrilling edition of the “Classique,” Marseille claimed a stunning 1-0 victory over Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) on Monday, thanks to an early goal from their summer signing, Nayef Aguerd. The Moroccan defender, who joined Marseille from West Ham for €23 million, has quickly become a pivotal figure for the team.

Aguerd’s impactful start at Marseille

Aguerd’s remarkable start at Marseille has been highlighted by his scoring prowess, netting twice in his first two Ligue 1 appearances. On Monday, he scored the decisive goal against PSG just five minutes into the match, setting the tone for the evening.

Unexpected match timing adds intrigue

The match was initially slated for Sunday evening but was rescheduled to Monday due to adverse weather conditions. Coincidentally, this change aligned the game with the Ballon d’Or 2025 ceremony in Paris, where PSG’s Ousmane Dembélé was among the attendees. Key players’ absences due to the ceremony left PSG’s coach, Luis Enrique, with a weakened lineup.

Aguerd’s post-match reflections

After the match, Aguerd expressed his delight, stating, “It was honestly incredible! The club has made my adaptation seamless, and it feels like I’ve been here for a year. This victory was crucial for our fans at home. All credit to the coach and staff. We’ll keep pushing forward.” Despite not being his primary role, Aguerd emphasized his willingness to contribute offensively when possible.

Challenges ahead for Marseille

The road ahead doesn’t get any easier for Marseille. They face a challenging away match against Strasbourg on Friday, a team vying for a Champions League spot. Following that, they will host Ajax in the prestigious European club competition next Tuesday.
