2025A driving force in Marseille’s underground scene Harold Boué (aka Abstraxion) curates a deeply personal playlist capturing the raw genre-blurring energy of his city.Growing up in Marseille in the '90s meant being immersed in a unique clash of cultures shaped my view of music as something deeply connected to the street to survival and celebration at the same time Even though I later moved towards electronic music streetwise spirit has always been in my DNA — mixing genres naturally This list is completely subjective. It’s the result of the encounters I've had in Marseille, the artists I've met, produced, and supported through my label Biologic Records, and the Encore Encore festival compilation we launched to showcase a new wave of emerging talents. Each track here holds a personal meaning for me — a moment, a collaboration, a shared vision — and together they reflect both Marseille’s rich musical heritage and the exciting diversity shaping its future. Fonky Family - Art de rue [S.M.A.L.L.]Growing up "De Mars on part en croisade" — the Fonky Family voiced the struggles and dreams of a generation Their energy and authenticity remain a deep influence on every Marseille artist today Méga Lune was a beautiful encounter through the Encore Encore project Faustine and Timothée fuse analog synth-driven techno with French songwriting and full of hope — like Marseille’s sunsets and Mediterranean warmth — something always present in the city's deeper layers "Bass Injection" reflects my personal experience of Marseille’s underground nightlife: hypnotic Bwi-Bwi is a vital voice in Marseille’s new generation of producers "Retool" blends classic house grooves with a raw futuristic edge — a sound deeply rooted in the city's independent spirit Pristine Pit crafts tracks that are unpredictable "Acid Dish" is a perfect soundtrack for Marseille’s restless creative energy funky chaos into Mézigue’s raw template — exactly the kind of sweaty warehouse energy you find in the city’s best underground nights "Alarm" bridges Marseille’s rugged daytime energy with the mystical atmosphere of its nights Oras Elone perfectly captures that tension between intensity and dreaminess rebellious spirit of Marseille’s underground and playful — exactly the type of energy that keeps the city’s scene thriving and unpredictable sensual energy of Marseille’s

the top of the table from Marseille Spain midfielder Ruiz was on hand to net the rebound after a Willian Pacho header struck the bar seven minutes into the second half in the southwest of France That gave PSG the victory on an awkward evening as coach Luis Enrique made six changes to his side with the game coming in-between the two legs of their Champions League knockout playoff tie against Brest who had netted 18 times in his last 11 appearances was left on the bench at kick-off along with the likes of Vitinha and captain Marquinhos First-choice goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma was rested altogether Lucas Beraldo had a shot turned onto the post in the first half for PSG not least from an early Charlie Cresswell header from which the young Englishman should have done better PSG remain unbeaten domestically since losing at home to Toulouse last May and now go into Wednesday's return match against Brest leading 3-0 from the first leg the last 16 of the Champions League in clear sight This is a round of league games in-between two Champions League matches in which you can easily slip up," said Luis Enrique New signing Amine Gouiri scored twice for Marseille as Roberto De Zerbi's side cruised to victory against a struggling Saint-Etienne side who occupy the relegation playoff position Algerian international Gouiri had impressed in his first two games since joining Marseille from Rennes late in the January transfer window but he had not scored for his new club until Saturday's match at the Velodrome He opened his account to give OM a single-goal lead at the interval before Mason Greenwood made it 2-0 from a penalty five minutes into the second half It was Greenwood's 14th Ligue 1 goal this season Amir Murillo made it 3-0 and Gouiri got his second of the afternoon to make it four for the hosts with Adrien Rabiot adding a fifth as he scored for the third game running Lucas Stassin pulled one back for Saint-Etienne who remain in real danger of an immediate return to Ligue 2 Marseille are 10 points behind PSG and also six points better off than third-placed Monaco who showed no mercy for struggling Nantes as they claimed a huge 7-1 win at the Stade Louis II Danish striker Mika Biereth scored a hat-trick in a second consecutive home Ligue 1 game the striker leading Monaco to a win which boosts morale following their 1-0 loss to Benfica in the first leg of their Champions League playoff tie in midweek a January signing from Sturm Graz of Austria also netted three times in a 4-2 home win over Auxerre two weeks ago and now has seven goals in seven appearances for his new club Matthis Abline had given Nantes an early lead in the principality but former Arsenal youngster Biereth equalised and Japanese international Takumi Minamino put the hosts ahead in first-half stoppage time Eliesse Ben Seghir made it 3-1 before Biereth netted twice more Two late goals from teenage Nigerian substitute George Ilenikhena then finished off the scoring as

Tres Passos Atletico Clube’s U19 team to a 2-0 win over Bayern’s U17 side Henrique was etched into the Bavarian scouts’ books after a goal and an assist display in the same friendly fixture He was even invited to join in on a Bayern Munich training session at the time too Henrique is not a concrete transfer target but is being discussed as an option.  Olympique Marseille stayed in the race for the top spot in France's Ligue 1 by beating Olympique Lyon 3-2 in a week 20 clash Sunday Lyon's French midfielder Corentin Tolisso brought the lead to the visitors in the 53rd minute at Velodrome Stadium Marseille took the lead as English winger Mason Greenwood scored in the 61st minute and then his French teammate Adrien Rabiot netted in the 64th minute Lyon's French striker Alexandre Lacazette equalized from a penalty kick in the 72nd minute but Marseille's Brazilian attacker Luis Henrique tallied the winning goal in the 85th minute Olympique Marseille are 10 points behind leaders Paris-Saint Germain while Olympique Lyon are in seventh spot with 30 points The Marseille Tramway Extension project (ETNS1) is financed by the European Union under the Public Sector Loan Facility with a grant of €15 million and a loan of €100 million by the European Investment Bank (EIB) The total budget of the project amounts to €320 million The ETNS1 project is part of a broader investment programme launched by Métropole d’Aix-Marseille-Provence in 2021 in the transport sector The ETNS1 project will improve the performance and quality of the tram network in Marseille strengthen the quality and diversity of the public transport services in the area encouraging soft mobility and behavioural changes for the local and regional citizens towards a more sustainable urban mobility The project is expected to bring benefits in terms of time savings for passengers and improved accessibility in the city and to create around 75 jobs The Public Sector Loan Facility (PSLF) is the third pillar of the Just Transition Mechanism (JTM) – a key tool of the European Green Deal Investment Plan to make sure that no one and no region is left behind in the transition to a climate-neutral economy.  The PSLF combines loans from the European Investment Bank (up to around €6-8 billion) with grants from the European Commission (up to €1.3 billion) The combined support is designed to mobilise additional investments for public sector entities in the regions most affected by the climate and energy transition (like Bouches du Rhône) as identified in the Territorial Just Transition Plans to meet their development needs in the transition towards a climate-neutral economy These plans are drawn up by each EU Member State and outline the challenges to be addressed in each just transition region together with the development needs and targets to be reached by 2030.  The blending of the European Investment Bank loan and the Commission grant will facilitate the financing of projects that do not generate sufficient streams of revenues to cover their investment costs The PSLF implementation is managed by CINEA The European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency (CINEA) is an Executive Agency established by the European Commission to implement parts of EU funding programmes for transport environment and maritime fisheries and aquaculture CINEA aims is

in renewable energy As a partner of local and regional authorities the EIB spent €2.3 billion in funding last year on public rail and urban transport and soft mobility its first investment sector in France last year With 15 goal contributions this season for Olympique de Marseille Luis Henrique (23) ranks amongst the most efficient Brazilian players in Europe’s top five divisions In an exclusive interview with Get French Football News harnessing the power of the Vélodrome and his ambitions for the future After a loan spell back to Botafogo in July 2022 it looked like it would never happen for you at Marseille worked hard at home and football is like that And did you expect such a start to the current campaign But with Roberto De Zerbi arriving and then having a great pre-season and then I started the season well by scoring goals; that gave me the confidence to get to the next level How do you explain this rise to prominence I think it is the confidence that Roberto has given me with his staff and with the players that have arrived too Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is always talking with me giving me confidence and telling me to be calm when playing and at ease You have described your relationship with De Zerbi as a ‘father-son relationship’ Everyone who has played under him will say that He gives you confidence and is there every day with us You are in the top five of most decisive Brazilians in Europe’s top five divisions What does it mean to be amongst the likes of Vinícius Junior To be among those players is important for me and for my career I will continue to [work to] keep at the top with those players Brazilians that are important for their clubs and so I watch them and I want to be like them too I know that I have to work hard to get there but you never know – that is football and do even more: score more goals and make more assists what are the objectives for the end of the season I think that the first objective this year was to qualify for the UEFA Champions League It is a famous club and we have to be there It is a club that should be at the highest level The supporters have high expectations but that is why the club is so big – it is because of the fans We will try to win the league and we have to believe until the end There is a big favourite (Paris Saint-Germain) but they have lost matches too OM have at times struggled to play at the Vélodrome this season with some players succumbing under the pressure What is your experience of playing in the stadium It is true that it is a stadium with an intense atmosphere we showed that the fans really help us and support us It is true that I managed to use this pressure in a positive way I managed to change my mentality when I step on the pitch and I use it as a strength I’ve always wanted to make the fans proud and light up the stadium I am happy as I am managing to do that and I hope to continue scoring to keep making them proud which you decided with a late volleyed winner (3-2) John Textor made a joke about OM being a ‘small club’ when you joined his side I know that he made these comments about OM and it wasn’t necessarily a good thing We showed on the pitch though that we are a big club But these are the little provocations that you get in football Ligue 1 is often a stepping stone for many players to play in other big European leagues I think that there are big leagues to play in (Get French Football News understands that Henrique is the subject of interest from the Premier League) I have still three years left on my contract I love being with the club and being at a top level and that is what I’m thinking about I’m in the moment at Marseille and my head is here And your objective for the end of the season – is it to reach that 10 goals GFFN | Luke Entwistle The TimesFounded by Greek-speaking Phocaeans 2,600 years ago Marseilles is France’s oldest — and arguably its most storied — city Once a crucible for traders from across the French empire the city’s fortunes declined in the 1960s alongside that of the ocean travel industry The shuttered houses of the Vieux Port neighbourhood sagged and gulls roosted in battlements of Château d’If since serving as European Capital of Culture in 2013 Marseilles has rediscovered its joie de vivre A high-profile museum and spate of high-end hotels have lured visitors back to the city and its slightly faded grandeur only deepens its charm Throw in a sun-kissed Mediterranean climate access to both urban beaches and mountain trails and you have a recipe for a wonderfully varied break Discover the heart of this city with our pick of the best things to do in Marseilles Main photo: visitors to Marseilles look over the Vieux Port from Fort Saint-Jean (Getty Images) The cuisine of Marseilles is Mediterranean par excellence: the sea has brought not just the obvious fishy influence to local tables but also culinary currents from further afield that have shaped this melting-pot port A three-and-a-half-hour walking and tasting tour typically introduces Provençal staples such as tapenade and aioli the produce of the small fish market on the quayside of the Vieux Port panisse (a chickpea flour fritter of Genoese origin) and baked camembert given an authentically Marseillais twist with a shot of pastis A fisherman selling his catch at the Vieux Port (Alamy)2 Lose yourself in Marseilles’ oldest quarterWhen ancient Greek colonists found the fine natural harbour of Massalia the hill to its north became their first place of settlement warren-like enclave reached by steep steps from the Vieux Port thanks sometimes to the work of spray cans but also because of its multitude of potted plants and painted shopfronts Its unusual name (“The Basket”) first referred to the sign of a local inn which was later applied to the main street and eventually the whole neighbourhood • Discover our full guide to France Graffiti in the oldest district of Marseilles Stumble upon street artMarseilles’ often unpolished look won’t appeal to everyone The backstreets around Cours Julien are prime territory for redecorating walls doorways and shop shutters with colourful creations; taking a themed walking tour can be a way to discover more about the artists behind the enigmatic names and ensure you have the up-to-date information on this outdoor gallery where works can change from one week to the next Street art on Rue Crudere in Cours Julien (Alamy)4 Stretch your legs behind the CornicheThe Corniche Président John Fitzgerald Kennedy is the southern half of the city’s winding and supremely scenic seaside drive though traffic often makes it less pleasant to stroll along you’ll find some of Marseilles’ most ravishing and quietest neighbourhoods A three-and-a-half-hour walking tour with local resident Jean-Marc departs from the picture-book fishing port of Vallon des Auffes and gives your calves a full workout on stairways that lead up past hidden gardens and faded villas before returning to the craggy coast once more Fishing boats in Vallon des Auffes (Alamy)5 Go stand-up paddleboardingBlue horizons are a constant in the city — and a beautiful reference point when it comes to finding and keeping your equilibrium on a stand-up paddleboard Discover the Calanques coastline from the water: while your core muscles are fully engaged you can contemplate rocky coves as you paddle along and ponder the accuracy of the Mediterranean’s occasional nickname: the tideless sea Closer to the city than the Calanques and starker in vegetation terms the Îles du Frioul is a miniature archipelago that’s home to the Château d’If — the fortress-prison made famous by Alexandre Dumas’ 1844 novel the islands are a great location for the kinds of water-based and motorised fun not permitted within the national park Take the rough with the smooth on a walking tourFull disclosure: Marseilles is a city with a 2,600-year history in a superb natural setting This is the starting point of an “ugly city” walking tour that aims to give visitors a nuanced view of Marseillais life Le Panier and Noailles are neighbourhoods with historic charm The boulevard between them is emblematic: La Canebière was once the city’s answer to the Champs-Élysées Rue d’Aubagne and Eglise du Calvaire (Alamy)8 Play pétanque in its homeThe sound of steel thudding onto sand — or clashing into rival steel — is part of the soundtrack of Provence Where else but Marseilles would you find a shop dedicated solely to boules then head off for some friendly competition which developed in nearby La Ciotat before 1910 is more strategic than the game’s simple concept might suggest The light in Marseilles is a photographer’s dream you’re finding it hard to capture the city’s best profile (see “ugliness” above) a two-hour tour with a local can help you to focus Beginning with photogenic nooks in Le Panier where Norman Foster’s mirror-ceilinged Ombrière structure is an Instagrammer favourite the tour reaches the seaside at Vallon des Auffes the oldest district of Marseilles (Alamy)10 Wander down an emblematic streetFew walks illustrate such a cross-section of Marseilles and its contradictions as the route down Rue d’Aubagne This street in the Noailles quarter is lined with historic yet often graffiti-covered and dilapidated houses (two tragically collapsed in 2018) and — for its city-centre location — is an unusual symbol of resistance against gentrification Restaurants and shops offer traditional dishes from Ivory Coast is Maison Empereur: a treasure cave of a homewares store Savon de Marseille could be considered a niche interest — unless you are among the many to have already discovered quite how satisfyingly chunky rustic and good at getting out stains it is Initially made using soda from the ashes of glasswort mixed with olive oil and seawater the ultimate soapy gift is now enjoying a revival you (and your kids) can watch a demonstration and find out how much of a “nose” you are in the sensory area Then stock up next door at the Savonnerie Marseillaise de la Licorne one of four Marseilles shops run by Serge and Laurence Bruna who also offer free guided tours of their workshop on the Cours Julien Sardine soap at the Savonnerie Marseillaise de la Licorne (Alamy)12 Visit a landmark new (and old) museumNothing symbolised Marseilles’ turnaround in the 2010s quite like Mucem — the Museum of European and Mediterranean Civilisations The main building on the quayside is clad in a lattice that suggests a rippled sea surface and from there a walkway reaches over a dock to the stone ramparts of Fort Saint-Jean one of a pair built in the 1660s to guard the main harbour entrance The museum’s permanent collection is still relatively small but the spread-out site hosts exhibitions covering historic themes and present-day Mediterranean life in all its variety The Museum of European and Mediterranean Civilisations (Alamy)13 See Marseilles’ marine national parkBeyond the southern outskirts of the city lie the dazzling Calanques a series of steep-sided inlets cutting into pale limestone cliffs which (thanks to the ruggedness of the area) are most easily admired from the sea it’s an afternoon’s sailing from the Vieux Port Eco Calanques’ 12-seater hybrid electric boats make the round trip in four and a half hours passing quietly through the narrow channel between the mainland and offshore Île Maïre to enter the park and including time for a swim in an azure inlet The Calanques National Park (Getty Images)14 Watch Olympique de Marseille in actionThe Orange Vélodrome home ground of the Marseilles football team is also the largest club football ground in France and is rammed when OM play arch-rivals Paris

could hire a bike) a popular swimming spot with a marine-friendly underwater sculpture trail with a gentle drop-off protected by a seawall; it also has a volleyball area and a party atmosphere in the evening it’s another 20 minutes to the Prado beaches a mile-and-a-quarter pebbly strand backed by a vast park that is home to a skatepark Pointe-Rouge offers water sports and sunset dining opposite the Frioul archipelago Beach volleyball in Marseilles (Getty Images)16 Get panoramic views from the basilicaLa Major but it’s the hilltop basilica to the south of the harbour that has the city’s heart Notre-Dame de la Garde is decorated inside with splendid Byzantine-style mosaics (and model boats offered by the fishing community) while its belfry is topped by a gilded statue of the Madonna and Child The wraparound terrace has astounding views of the city and nearby islands Reach it as pilgrims do with a sloping climb Go on the world’s shortest cruiseThe most eccentric component of Marseilles’ public transport network is Le Ferry Boat which conveys passengers the 283m across the Vieux Port in under five minutes It’s arguable how much time this shortcut actually saves it’s also the cheapest way to get out — however briefly — among the yachts in a harbour that has sheltered ships since 600BC the “boat” part is often pronounced “boîte” (box) in French The Ferry Boat jetty in the Vieux Port (Alamy)18 Scale the city’s rock facesMarseilles must surely be Europe’s best big city for climbers given the limestone cliffs that rear up all around it with a climbing guide you’ll gain vertical feet and panoramic views unavailable to others in and around the Calanques National Park south of the city Excursions (outside the hottest summer months) range from half-hiking itineraries using ropes anchored to fixed points to multi-pitch routes where climbers progress along ridge lines and winch their way up cliff faces with Mediterranean waves breaking on the rocks far below Marseilles as a city is short on green space One of the largest parks lies to the east of the grand at the even more splendiferous Palais Longchamp Fountains and cascades descend from a colonnade that links the two wings one housing the city’s main collection of fine arts the other an old-school natural history museum The zoological gardens behind them are long-gone but you can still see their eccentric pavilions and more recent colourful fibreglass models of animals in the former enclosures The park at the Palais Longchamp (Alamy)20 Make room for the king of fish stewsBouillabaisse is a dish that doesn’t travel well outside its home city try to reserve one of your meals in Marseilles for this aromatic fish stew Much debate goes into evaluating different restaurants’ versions but most agree you won’t find the best at tables along the Vieux Port traditionalists go for addresses on or near the Corniche Kennedy L’Épuisette and Le Rhul — or a more fancified take on bouillabaisse at three-Michelin-star Le Petit Nice The most spread-out world heritage site includes buildings in countries as far apart as Argentina and Japan and has a major

(Alamy)22 Learn about ancient culturesIt isn’t just the Palais Longchamp that manages to fit two of the top museums in Marseilles into a historic building La Vieille Charité is a 17th-century former almshouse in pinkish stone on the edge of Le Panier which is worth a visit for the architecture alone But it also houses two museums that echo Marseilles’ historic role as France’s southern gateway The chapel of La Vieille Charité (Alamy)23 Dive to a submerged museumOne of the city’s newest museums may also be its most unusual The Musée Subaquatique de Marseille is a sculpture park lying 5m deep

Mason Greenwood scored his 10th Ligue 1 goal as Marseille won 2-0 at Saint-Etienne on Sunday to end the weekend in second place in the table, five points behind leaders Paris Saint-Germain. Adrien Rabiot gave Marseille a first-half lead at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard and Greenwood added the second just after the hour mark, following up to score after his penalty was saved. Greenwood, signed from Manchester United in July, has now reached double figures in just 14 appearances for Marseille. The 23-year-old struck a late penalty winner against Monaco last time out and this latest victory ensures that Roberto De Zerbi's team end the weekend back where they started it, above the principality side on goal difference. Monaco defeated Toulouse 2-0 on Saturday and both they and OM were able to take advantage of another slip-up by PSG, as the leaders drew 0-0 at Auxerre on Friday. France midfielder Rabiot put the visitors ahead in Saint-Etienne as he controlled the ball on his chest inside the box before firing in. The goal was disallowed on the pitch for offside but given following a VAR check -- it was Rabiot's first Ligue 1 goal since October 2018, when he was playing for PSG. De Zerbi's men then won a spot-kick after the break for a foul on Greenwood. His effort was parried by goalkeeper Gautier Larsonneur but Greenwood converted the rebound to join PSG's Bradley Barcola on 10 goals for the campaign. Only Jonathan David, Lille's Canadian striker who has 11 goals, has found the net more often in Ligue 1 this season -- he scored twice in his side's 3-1 win over Brest on Friday. Saint-Etienne, another of France's most storied clubs, have now lost nine of 14 games since winning promotion back to Ligue 1. They sit in the relegation play-off place. French publication L'Equipe have gone in hard on Mason Greenwood after his performance off the bench for Marseille in their 1-0 defeat to Lens.

have been less than impressed by defender Leonardo Balerdi who received his marching orders inside five minutes tangling with Alexandre Lacazette for a second yellow card Lyon immediately looked to press home their numerical advantage striking the crossbar via Gift Orban’s bicycle kick before Gerónimo Rulli denied his prodded effort at goal minutes later The hosts were predictably dominating

given how events unfolded in the opening half Les Phoceens fans were likely satisfied with the half time stalemate none of those supporters were in the stadium thanks to a league-imposed ban which may not have been the worst thing as former Marseille man Duje Ćaleta-Car broke the deadlock Clinton Mata did brilliantly to recover an overhit cross, sliding in to regain possession before finding Ćaleta-Car who headed home his first league goal for Les Gones Lyon took the leadJEFF PACHOUD / AFPDespite having further chances to break his duck for the season Lacazette couldn’t find his shooting boots the visitors had an equaliser against the run of play A defensive lapse allowed Pol Lirola to race towards goal keeping his composure to dink over Perri and level the scores with 20 minutes to play Ernest Nuamah then sent a strike narrowly wide as Lyon aimed to restore their lead, but incredibly, it was the 10-man visitors who snatched a late goal as Ulisses Garcia looped in Lirola’s

high challenge on Marquinhos leaving Roberto De Zerbi's side with an uphill task of salvaging anything from the game PSG then hammered home its man advantage nine minutes after Harit's dismissal when

PSG have now won all of their last three against Les Sang et Or despite their loss against Lens in the Derby du Nord last weekend That result hinged on a late dubious refereeing decision as LOSC were awarded a penalty in the dying stages Lens were solid and also worked good chances has shown himself to be pragmatic and with some key players missing Barcola should be kept quieter with Lens utilising full-backs one of which will be tight to Barcola throughout That isn’t to say that PSG won’t have joy through the middle With Facundo Medina now in midfield and with Kevin Danso back there

Marseille in Ligue 1 on Sunday after an early red card diminished their fierce rivals Mason Greenwood has reacted to Marseille “beating the odds” in an incredible win that saw them prevail in a five-goal thriller with Lyon Pierre-Emerick Aubamyeang (35) earlier today announced his departure from Olympique de Marseille through his social media it had been reported that a deal had been reached between the striker and Al-Qadsiah for a two-year contract However, an agreement between the Saudi Arabian side and Marseille had not yet been finalised, with Pablo Longoria blocking the move until the veteran striker informed him personally of his intentions to leave. This issue looks to have been sorted, and according to La Provence Marseille expect that they will sell Aubameyang for between €9 to €10 million This fee would be a welcome boost to the club’s coffers especially with the Gabonese international entering the final year of a contract that was reportedly the largest in the Marseille squad Marseille will soon have to turn their attention to finding a replacement for Aubameyang with the club linked to moves for Alexis Sánchez (35) and Eddie Nketiah (25) GFFN | Nick Hartland France : A nightmare first half for Olympique de Marseille saw them concede three goals and lose midfielder Amine Harit to a straight red card as Paris St Germain recorded a resounding 3-0 away win on Sunday to move three points clear at the top of Ligue 1 The win was PSG's sixth straight league victory over their bitter rivals with Marseille struggling to contain them from the kickoff before rapidly collapsing after midfielder Joao Neves broke the deadlock in the seventh minute The industrious Harit was red-carded 13 minutes later for a high challenge on PSG's Marquinhos effectively snuffing out any hope of a comeback but video replays indicated that the challenge was relatively harmless Things went from bad to worse for Marseille nine minutes later when defender Leonardo Balerdi poked the ball past keeper Geronimo Rulli and into his own net to make it 2-0 and winger Bradley Barcola netted his eighth league goal of the season to make it 3-0 before the break Some Marseille fans had already headed for the exits before the break but those that stayed continued to vociferously support their side urging them on in their uphill battle on the pitch Barcola wasted an excellent chance to net his second and PSG's fourth just after the break but he fired wide of the target with his weaker left foot with the goal at his mercy The Marseille fans were almost rewarded with a late goal but Lillian Brassier's header from a set piece in the 85th minute flew high over the bar With all the teams in the top flight having played nine games three clear of AS Monaco at the top of the standings with Marseille a further three points back in third place Get our pick of top stories and thought-provoking articles in your inbox Stay updated with notifications for breaking news and our best stories Join our channel for the top reads for the day on your preferred chat app We know it's a hassle to switch browsers but we want your experience with CNA to be fast Upgraded but still having issues?

Michael covered his home city of Marseille for the latest Lonely Planet guide Here he gives his top five experiences unique to the city on the sea A sprawling city bathed in sunshine reflected off the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean, Marseille lingers in your memory long after you leave It may possess the historical remnants of its ancient Phoenician founders but the hustle and throng of this port city have drawn a hip crowd from around the globe The result is an urban setting that has finally shaken off its rough reputation and now features in Vogue magazine and on the social media feeds of hot celebrities Time moves differently here in the summer months but Marseille is effortlessly slow during the day as the heat takes over You'll naturally be drawn to the coast for a dip or to simply relax under a parasol as your ice melts in your drink We've rounded up some of the best experiences that will keep you coming back for more of Marseille Marseille is a port city with an insatiable love for leisure sailing There is no better way to have a moment of respite from the city’s intense energy than to suddenly skip away from the heavy concrete across the gentle waters of the Mediterranean Public transport and huge party boats filled with tourists venture out into the waters but the best way to enjoy a trip over the waves is to find a sailboat with a captain You can kick back and enjoy a meal they will happily prepare as you catch the winds and visit the local inlets and tiny islands reachable within 30 minutes of the port It is pure escapism and the joy of nature combined – a healthy lung-filled burst of life and no better way to catch a sunset you may also attract dolphins and whales to marvel at Planning tip: Please be certain to book well in advance in the summer months as one captain will usually only be operating from their own craft Marseille’s African diaspora lives shoulder to shoulder within the very center of the city where languages and dialects ring out loudly It is a home-from-home where imported ingredients and restaurants feed the soul as well as the body They bring back the taste of far-flung places and memories and have created a natural home in this foodie city As well as experiencing the local produce and recipes that make up Provence’s glorious cuisine, do not leave without tasting what, amongst others, Senegal, Ghana, Cameroon, Tunisia and Morocco have to offer. All are well represented in joints you can hear hopping from down the street. La Jungle is an absolute highlight with music blaring from the huge TV screen as mountain-sized plates of food are dropped before you Marseille has a reputation for being macho, but there is no better place to see this energy cast aside than at Sing or Die tucked behind a heavy door on a quiet cobbled street in the Longchamp district who has lived in the region for over a decade has founded a safe space for all walks of life to sing their hearts out together drunkenly This sparkly dark room with a stage is more a karaoke club than a bar and it is truly like no other venue when filled to the brim at the weekend sweat dripping from the ceiling onto a screaming crowd Anyone wanting to cosplay as a rockstar will have found a nonjudgmental and remarkably friendly place to live out their dreams It is a little part of the UK mixed with the sticky dance floors of Marseille – a place from which you can happily stagger back to your bed Known as the end of the world to those in the city It's a fishing village more than anything else a small port where the locals speak in a familiar Marseille twang and sip Pastis (an alcoholic drink that is as much a part of the city as sunshine itself) Les Goudes is far from the sounds and smells of urban sprawl but it has entered a new phase as a destination for the super-rich on a summer break Le Tuba is featured in only the most fashionable magazines – a hotel with a limited number of ocean-view rooms that costs a pretty cent for those fortunate enough to get a booking. It stands at odds with the handful of local fish restaurants and institutions like the Bar des Goudes the perfect place to eat seafood and enjoy a cold drink The first stop is the Port de Malmousque. As you descend the steps from the street, you're greeted by narrow alleys that hark back to a fishing village from another era. Head to the right to find a tiny and still port where locals drink wine out of plastic cups and float gently in the sea. Those who desire more action and to mingle amongst the beautiful people can go further along the coast to the rocks under the celebrated restaurant, Le Petit Nice. At La Fausse Monnaie beach, you'll be shrouded in the kind of golden light that dreams are spun from. Local tip: To truly do it as the locals do, bring all your picnic essentials, including wine or beer, and your towel. Mason Greenwood reacts after missing out on Ligue 1 Player of the Year shortlist Mason Greenwood “homesick” and wants Premier League return from Marseille The 23-year-old forward’s 65th-minute goal helped Marseille secure a 2-0 victory over Saint-Etienne on Sunday. With this achievement, Greenwood equaled the 10-goal tally he set during the 2019/20 Premier League season with Manchester United. However, the milestone has come much faster this time, as Greenwood has scored his 10 goals in just 14 Ligue 1 appearances, compared to the 31 games it took during his Premier League breakout campaign. Greenwood’s clinical form has also earned him a place in Ligue 1 history. He became the first player since former Brazil international Sonny Anderson in 1994 to score 10 French league goals in just 14 appearances—a feat Anderson achieved with AS Monaco. Now joint second in the Ligue 1 scoring charts alongside PSG’s Bradley Barcola and just one goal behind Lille’s Jonathan David, Greenwood is poised to set a new personal record. The young striker will have the opportunity to surpass his best-ever league tally next Saturday when Marseille face Lille in a pivotal Ligue 1 clash. Greenwood’s sensational form has been a key factor in Marseille’s success this season, with the club firmly in the mix for a top-three finish. The 23-year-old’s ability to convert chances consistently has cemented his place as one of Ligue 1’s standout performers this campaign.

la commune d’Aubagne depuis 2009 pour inciter à laisser sa voiture et accélérer la transition environnementale D’études en études de débats publics en pétitions la question est devenue récurrente pour la Métropole Aix-Marseille-Provence en charge de la mobilité sur le territoire annonce avoir « décidé pour les plus de 65 ans et les moins de 10 ans d’appliquer la gratuité des transports en commun à la rentrée prochaine » Soit à partir du 1er septembre 2025 Une déclaration à l’occasion de ses vœux à la population ce jeudi 30 janvier elle réceptionnait les travaux de la commission de gratuité des transports cette mesure concernera toutes les personnes âgées de plus de 65 ans ou de moins de 10 ans Ces dernières pourront bénéficier d’un Pass permanent gratuit pour circuler en illimité sur tout le réseau de la Régie des transports métropolitains (RTM) mais aussi les autres communes du territoire Aujourd’hui, ce type d’abonnement revient à 30 euros par mois pour les séniors À noter qu’il ne comprend pas les navettes maritimes et celles vers l’aéroport de Marignane le nouveau dispositif devrait ainsi représenter un coût « d’un peu moins de 10 millions d’euros par an environ » Le vice-président métropolitain dédié aux finances fait partie de la commission qui a travaillé sur la gratuité des transports L’élu indique par ailleurs que la réflexion tarifaire concerne également le reste des usagers « Nous avons proposé des tarifs sociaux Notamment pour les étudiants ou personnes en difficulté sociale « Ça prend du temps à mettre en place mais on vise à le faire pour septembre aussi » pour le Comité des usagers des transports marseillais estime que cette première expérimentation de la gratuité « est une bonne chose. Mais il faudrait qu’elle concerne les publics qui en ont le plus besoin financièrement et en termes d’usages ».  Il pense en particulier aux étudiants et aux jeunes travailleurs « qui se déplacent tous les jours mais ont de très faibles revenus Expérimenter la gratuité pour les moins de 26 ans aurait beaucoup plus de sens » Le Comité des usagers des transports marseillais milite pour la gratuité totale pour tous les usagers « Mais nous savons que c’est impossible financièrement dans l’immédiat » Ce que confirme Didier Khelfa : « Cela représenterait un coût de 300 millions d’euros annuels pour la Métropole Aix-Marseille-Provence Ce n’est pas possible actuellement » estime le vice-président en charge des finances la solution réside dans l’augmentation du « versement mobilité transports des entreprises » les recettes atteindraient 220 millions d’euros pour la Métropole » Mais il faudrait en passer par une nouvelle loi Peut-être que l’idée tombera dans l’oreille du nouveau ministre des transports OL were immediately on the front foot with the numerical advantage and Gift Orban managed to rattle the crossbar with a spectacular overhead attempt following a corner for Les Gones Orban would get another chance to open the scoring only minutes later but Geronimo Rulli denied the Nigerian attacker well in the one-on-one situation Corentin Tolisso would be next up with a chance as he managed to dribble past Rulli but the ball would be cleared off the line OM's first foray into the Lyon box almost saw Valentin Rongier open the scoring for Les Olympiens but he was denied by Lucas Perri's outstanding save It came as Marseille started to enjoy a good period of possession after weathering a storm of Lyonnais attacks But the pattern of the first half would resume as OL piled on the pressure: Lacazette tried to put the ball on a plate for Orban Marseille would get extremely close to opening the score once more this time it was Elye Wahi whose shot was surely going in if it wasn't for Corentin Tolisso's decisive clearance off the line to deny the Frenchman after Rongier was adjudged to handle the ball in the box Alexandre Lacazette stepped up to take the spot-kick but Géronimo Rulli guessed the right way to save in dramatic fashion Rulli kept the 10-man away side in the contest by the first half break with a superb performance Lyon would find a way past the resistance of Marseille's resolute defence as Clinton Mata showed some great determination to steal the ball back from Valentin Rongier and then provide a pinpoint cross for former OM defender Dujé Caleta-Carr to head decisively into the back of the net (53') Maitland-Niles provided a well-timed through ball to Alex Lacazette but the Frenchman was denied well by Murillo Lyon looked comfortable with their one-goal and one-man advantage but a mistake at the back would be costly for Pierre Sage's men as Luis Enrique fed a well-timed ball through to Pol Lirola which caught the OL backline completely by surprise The Spaniard beared down on goal and finished deftly to get what was an unlikely leveller for De Zerbi's side (69').  Just when you thought it couldn't get any more unpredictable Marseille would come up with another stunning moment as OM bombed forward through Lirola on the counter-attack The Spaniard provided a perfect cross for Ulisses Garcia who was in acres of space at the back post and lofted a looped finish past Perri into the back of the net (82') It would be the first of three late twists to the tale as Rayan Cherki would flick home Clinton Mata's low cross for an injury-time leveller for the home side (90+3) Cue the huge celebrations from the home side's roaring fans - but it wouldn't end there just yet OM would get themselves on the attack once more and Jonathan Rowe picked up the ball down the left side and confidently drove at the Lyon defence The England U21 international then let off a rocket past Perri into the back of the net effectively sealing the three points for Marseille in the most stunning of circumstances (90'+5).  Rowe decided the Olympico with an incredible goal! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🔥 pic.twitter.com/AiqbIfhxjv I'm very happy to have seen this mentality and this courage The substitutes who came on

Nicholas CREDIT Sailing Energy Australia’s Matt Wearn will have to wait another day for his shot at glory as the wind completely deserted Marseille for the Men’s Dinghy Medal Race They will now attempt to get the race away tomorrow on the first of two scheduled reserve days While the date of the race may have changed the equation has not and with his 14-point lead over Pavlos Kontides he must finish no more than six places behind the Cypriot and show every endeavour to start and finish the race to claim his second consecutive Olympic title “The girls tried to go out and get something done but they decided it just wasn’t enough,” Wearn said after the Women’s Dinghy Medal race was also postponed “Waiting around on the on the beach isn’t fantastic but it’s just what you’ve got to do.” The failing winds mean Wearn hasn’t raced for the past two days now but it isn’t something the reigning World Champion is going to let bother him “I think in sport you’ve got to be pretty good at switching on and off It’s no different in the longer term as well that there is a possibility that we could be racing tomorrow or even the next day.” Wearn showed his typical composure as he sat patiently and plotting alongside coach Rafa Trujillo throughout the day “Watching Matt in the pit lane he seemed very cool and confident awaiting the decision to either go out or place the boat back in quarantine and head back home for a reset,” noted Australian Olympic Sailing Team Leader Iain Brambell The Medal Race will be broadcast live on Channel Nine and on 9Now Wearn won’t be the only Aussie competing in a Medal Race tomorrow with fellow Western Australians Nia Jerwood and Conor Nicholas securing their place in the Mixed Dinghy Medal Race by finishing their qualifying series in ninth “Mixed emotions about today,” said Jerwood after racing “I think some of the mistakes are going to haunt me for a little bit but we’ve still got another day tomorrow and we’ll keep fighting.” Women’s Kite got one race in before the wind dropped right out with Breiana Whitehead posting a ninth to stay in Medal Series contention The young Mixed Multihull team of Brin Liddell and Rhiannan Brown will take a lot out of their debut Olympic campaign and will be a team to watch in the future after finishing their qualification series in twelfth place if you told me I would have finished thirteenth at the Games I would have told you that’s unbelievable,” said Liddell “I feel like we had the speed to be up with the top guys so it’s a bit of a shame to not be in the top ten So history awaits Wearn on the waters of Marseille tomorrow When his head hits the pillow tonight it will no doubt be filled with dreams of Gold 10 – 38 points 2nd: Pavlos Kontides (CYP) 17 7 – 52 points3rd:

Heung-min reacts after he got a yellow card during the Champions League soccer match between Tottenham Hotspur and Olympique de Marseille at Tottenham Hotspur stadium LONDON (AP) — Richarlison pulled his Tottenham jersey over his face and wept as he was embraced by family members beside the field It was a Champions League debut to remember for the Brazil forward Playing in European competition for the first time in his career Richarlison scored his first goals for Tottenham to earn a 2-0 win over 10-man Marseille in their opening group-stage match on Wednesday The Brazil forward was unmarked in the middle of the penalty area when he met a cross from the left by Ivan Perisic with a header that flew past goalkeeper Pau Lopez putting Tottenham ahead in the 76th minute His second goal five minutes later was pretty much a replica with Richarlison this time nodding in a deep cross from Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg Marseille was unable to eke out a draw at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium after having center back Chancel Mbemba sent off in the 47th for bringing down Son Heung-min as the last man Slovenian referee Slavko Vinčić dropped the red card on the ground as he was about to brandish it to Mbemba Tottenham wing back Emerson Royal picked the card up to allow Vinčić to complete the job in an incident that proved a turning point in what was a lackluster stalemate at that point it needed Richarlison’s late interventions to get Tottenham over the line in an otherwise stuttering performance by the team He is emerging as a new attacking star for Spurs after forcing his way into the starting lineup in recent weeks following an offseason move from Everton for 60 million pounds (then $73 million) “We had to dig deep and keep knocking on the door,” Tottenham striker Harry Kane said “and thankfully Richie popped up with a couple of goals.” said Tottenham had been “nervous” in the early stages of the game in which both teams canceled each other out “We signed a lot of new players and need some time We have to continue like this and are in a good way.” While Tottenham remained unbeaten in all competitions it was Marseille’s first loss of the season and continued a dreadful run of results in the Champions League France’s one and only European champion — in 1993 — lost five of its six group matches in 2020-21 and all six in its previous appearance in the competition Sporting
