Forget ''Le Classique'' and stay tuned for the biggest grudge match in French soccer. The real French derby pits Marseille and Saint-Etienne, the country's two most decorated clubs, who meet Sunday at the Stade Velodrome. Known as ''Le Classique,'' the match between Paris Saint-Germain and Marseille only became popular during the 1990's when the arrival of foreign stars such as Rai, Rudi Voeller and George Weah started a strong rivalry heavily promoted by the clubs' respective owners - Bernard Tapie at Marseille and pay TV Canal Plus at PSG.
