RC Lens hoped to play a “final” of the championship on April 11 against Paris Saint-Germain. But the LFP decided otherwise at the end of its board meeting. In fact, it was unanimously voted to postpone this meeting, at the suggestion of PSG, which wishes to concentrate fully on its Champions League quarter-final against Liverpool on April 8 and 14. The LFP published a press release to explain its choice.
“At the request of Paris Saint-Germain and RC Strasbourg in order to prepare in the best conditions for their respective quarter-finals in the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Conference League, the LFP Board of Directors has decided unanimously outside the clubs concerned to postpone the matches RC Lens – Paris Saint-Germain and Stade Brestois – RC Strasbourg, counting for the 29th day of Ligue 1 Mc Donald’s, to Wednesday May 13. These decisions are part of the strong strategic line of the Board of Directors to allow France to maintain its fifth place in the UEFA index, which allows it to obtain four places in the UEFA Champions League. These two decisions are accompanied by a proposal made to RC Lens to adjust its calendar to bring forward the RC Lens-FC Nantes meeting (matchday 33) to Friday May 8 in the event that Paris Saint-Germain qualifies for the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League.we can read.
