Former Olympique de Marseille player, Mathieu Valbuena made some strong comments this week.

He was one of the most emblematic figures of Olympique de Marseille in the 21st century. And he left countless memories in the Marseille city. Former player of the club between 2006 and 2014, Mathieu Valbuena will remain eternally linked to Marseille.

Despite a stint at Olympique Lyonnais which was very poorly received by OM supporters, Valbuena made strong comments to demonstrate his attachment to the most important club of his career.

Valbuena indirectly tackles Rabiot

The former French international, who currently plays for Kallithéa FC, said he could never have worn the jersey of the Parisian rival. A small disguised tackle on Adrien Rabiot, who went the opposite way after being trained at Paris Saint-Germain

“I would never have wanted to go to Paris. Because, for me, Paris is really the rival. Whether sporting or extra-sporting, there is everything, launched Valbuena for Free Foot.

When I was at Lyon – even if I know that there was a sporting rivalry with OM – it was not a club that we hated. Afterwards there were controversies from Aulas, there were a lot of things which meant that we no longer really liked this club in Marseille. But Paris has always been like that. We have always hated Paris Saint-Germain…”
