PSG’s game against Lens postponed to aid Liverpool preparation

As was expected, Paris Saint-Germain’s game against RC Lens, initially scheduled to take place on 11th April, has been postponed.

PSG had requested that the game against Lens, a potential title decider, be postponed until a later date in order to allow them to better prepare their UEFA Champions League quarter-final against Liverpool. The first leg will take place on 8th April and the second leg on 14th April. The Administration Council of the LFP unanimously voted in favour of the postponement, despite Lens’ vocal opposition. Les Sang et Or are just one point behind PSG in Ligue 1, although the latter have one game in hand, having had their game against FC Nantes earlier this month postponed, too. That was to aid the reigning European champions’ preparation for their games against Chelsea.

RC Strasbourg Alsace also requested that their game, against Stade Brestois, be suspended. That is in order to aid their preparations for a two-legged UEFA Europa Conference League tie against Mainz. That too has been approved by the LFP. Both Lens-PSG and Brest-Strasbourg will now take place in the final week of the season, sandwiched between the penultimate and final gameweek of the Ligue 1 season.
