Do the Marseilles fans support the ‘Bleus’ (the French national team) who play for PSG?
Marsailles supporters generally do not support teams that include players from Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in the French national team, known as “Les Bleus”. This is due to a historical rivalry between the two clubs, particularly due to their competition for national supremacy. Marsailles supporters prefer to see their own players represent their city and club in the national team rather than supporting players who play for a direct rival. However, when the Marsailles are called upon to support France as a national team, they generally display a spirit of camaraderie and enthusiastically support “Les Bleus”.
