Marseille's Adrien Rabiot, a former Paris Saint-Germain stalwart, is poised to face his ex-club on Sunday in a French league showdown, rekindling old tensions. Rabiot, who clinched five league titles with PSG, once a fan favorite, fell from grace over difficult contract talks.

Having left PSG to join Juventus, Rabiot's career trajectory brought new success in Serie A and on the international stage with France. This offseason, Marseille secured Rabiot on a free transfer, a strategic move aimed at bolstering their midfield and challenging PSG's stature.

The upcoming clash is pivotal for both clubs. With Marseille trailing PSG and Monaco by goal difference, Rabiot's presence could shift dynamics. PSG, struggling in the Champions League, faces a formidable test as Marseille's reinforced squad seeks to exploit their vulnerabilities.
