MARSEILLE’S SUCCESS UNDER TAPEI

Coincidentally, it was a Parisian who ended PSG’s dominance and began an era of success for Marseille. Under Bernard Tapie, Marseille won for five years consecutively, starting from 1989. Moreover, they also won the coveted Champions League trophy in 1993, rubbing salt into PSG’s wounds.
