Since Paris Saint-Germain qualified for the Champions League quarter-finals against Liverpool (April 8 and 14), there has been talk of a possible postponement of their trip to Lens, scheduled for Saturday, April 11, as part of the 29th round of Ligue 1. Even though Lens expressed their resistance, PSG’s request was likely to be granted. According to RMC Sport, the Professional Football League (LFP) decided on Thursday to postpone the Lens-PSG match.
According to information from RMC Sport, the LFP board of directors voted on Thursday in favor of postponing the Lens-PSG match.
Despite opposition from Lens and Joseph Oughourlian’s defense on Thursday, the League’s board members confirmed the postponement of the clash scheduled for Matchday 29 of Ligue 1.
Originally set for April 11 at Bollaert-Delelis Stadium, the duel between the top two teams in the standings will be rescheduled for a later date.
The decision is significant, especially given Lens’s extensive public statements in recent days aimed at fighting the postponement. However, the underlying principle is to support French clubs in European competitions, which makes sense. It’s also worth noting that this Lens/PSG match, likely to be played between the penultimate and final matchdays, could create a kind of championship final just before the end of the season.
