After requesting and obtaining the postponement of its Ligue 1 match against FC Nantes, interspersed during its double Champions League confrontation against Chelsea, PSG did it again. According to The Team And RMC Sportthe capital club also wishes to postpone its match, scheduled for April 11 against RC Lens.

The French and European champion does not intend to play this meeting against the Sang et Or that day, knowing that it is between the quarter-final first leg and second leg of C1 against Liverpool. He therefore once again asked the Professional Football League to postpone this championship match.

“We do not agree, Pierre Sage was offended last Friday at a press conference. I understand that having more rest allows you to perform better. They confirmed it during their match against Chelsea. It is a club that is very successful in several competitions. They also know the constraints. We don’t have to endure these things. »

Lens-PSG, the LFP will decide on Thursday

Even if the Lensois club opposes this request, the LFP can absolutely give a favorable response to Paris Saint-Germain. The body also announced this Monday that the Rouge et Bleu’s match against Nantes would be played on Wednesday April 22, at 7 p.m.

Concerning the clash against Lens, the LFP board of directors will deliver its verdict on Thursday. Note that the Racing Club de Strasbourg made a similar request. The Alsatian club requested the postponement of its trip to Brest, scheduled for April 12, to optimize its chances against Mainz in the quarter-finals of the Conference League.
