Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Yohan Cabaye has admitted that he cannot wait to take part in his first Le Classique match against Marseille since his January move from Newcastle United.

Cabaye, who previously played for Lille before he joined the Magpies, said that more important for him than enjoying the atmosphere would be to pick up three points for the side currently top of Ligue 1.

"We all know the rivalry that exists between the two clubs," Sky Sports News quotes Cabaye as saying. "For the fans, the supporters, it's a very important match.

"I have already met a lot of people who have told me how important this match is. We'll see how it goes. I can't wait to experience the atmosphere, the match and everything around the match, how it all happens.

"I'm hoping for a good match, a good game of football. It will be important, but at the end of the day, it's another league game with three points at stake."

The game kicks off on Sunday night at 8pm.
