Chris Waddle has declared his Olympique Marseille would easily match and even DEFEAT today's PSG of Kylian Mbappe, Lionel Messi and Neymar.

The former England World Cup star spent three years with Marseille, signing for Bernard Tapie from Tottenham in 1989.

With OM, Waddle won three Ligue 1 titles and also reached the final of the European Cup in 1991, where they were beaten on penalties by Red Star Belgrade.

Effectively the Galacticos of that era, Waddle played alongside the likes of Jean-Pierre Papin, Basile Boli, Abedi Pele and Manuel Amoros for Marseille.

Asked about a face-off between his OM and Mbappe's PSG, Waddle, speaking on behalf of FreeSuperTips, told Tribalfootball.com: "It would be a great game!

"With modern day you can't really tackle anymore like they used to do, although it wouldn't really affect me.

"I just think we'd be better defensively than PSG.

"We had Basile Boli, Bernard Casoni and Carlos Mozer who were three top defenders.

"They were pacey, great in the air and aggressive, but could play as well.

"Manuel Amoros and Eric Di Meco were both French internationals, so we had a lot of talent defensively and I think it would be better than PSGs.

"Attacking wise you could say whatever, both teams have a lot of attacking quality.

"Midfield would probably cancel each other out but it would be a great game to watch."

As for a scoreline, Waddle smiled: "Either result I don't think would be a shock to anyone, but it would have been a hell of a game if you could have made it possible.

"I would say we were as good as PSG are today definitely."
