Marseille vs Paris Saint Germain preview - Ocampos still confident about title

Posted Saturday, April 04, 2015 by PA

Lucas Ocampos believes Marseille can still spoil Paris St Germain's dreams of a domestic treble.

Marseille host leaders PSG on Sunday aiming to dislodge Laurent Blanc's side, who have only just clawed their way to the top of Ligue 1.

Ocampos has challenged third-placed Marseille to "show a lot of heart" on Sunday, to push the title fight to the wire.

"For me the title is more than possible," Ocampos told reporters.

"We're in great form right now: if we win, we'll go ahead of Paris.

"The title is within reach.

"Every match starting from Paris is a final, we must show a lot of heart to succeed."

Former France defender Blanc can select from strength for Sunday's 'classique' fixture, with David Luiz and Marquinhos back to full fitness.

Serge Aurier, Lucas and Yohan Cabaye are also all available again, while Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Edinson Cavani are back from international duty.

Defender Maxwell believes PSG are in good shape for that domestic treble, not forgetting their Champions League exploits too after knocking out Chelsea.

The 33-year-old remains wary of tempting fate however, when it comes to talk of sweeping the board in France.

"We can't let ourselves dream about what it must be like to win the treble," he told Ligue1.com.

"It will be something that we will remember forever, but we don't really want to talk about it because it can bring something negative.

"I think the Coupe de la Ligue is there waiting for us with the final, and we know we want to win the Coupe de France because it's very special for us.

"The league is the hardest one because you need to be consistent over many months, so we are fighting for that.

"The best thing is to think about the next game and try to win."
