"Paris Saint-Germain suffered a 1-0 defeat at Marseille in Monday's rearranged Le Classique, with Nayef Aguerd's early header proving decisive in his side's first home league win over their bitter rivals since 2011. After Sunday's weather-enforced postponement of the match amid heavy rain and storms, PSG fell to their first league defeat of the season on a night where Ousmane Dembele was presented with the 2025 Ballon d'Or men's award in Paris."
"Marseille started brightly, striking inside five minutes as centre-back Aguerd headed in at the far post after goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier, signed from Lille in the summer, completely misjudged Mason Greenwood's cross. PSG pressed for an equaliser but home keeper Geronimo Rulli held firm, making several key stops including a sharp save from Achraf Hakimi. Striker Goncalo Ramos headed over a golden chance to level after the break as the visitors paid the price for wasteful finishing."
