The story was not going to stop there. A little more than three weeks after the controversy between Stade Rennais and PSG which was played at Roazhon Park (2-2), while the meeting was initially supposed to take place at the Parc des Princes, the Breton club decided to contact the CNOSF to challenge the LFP’s decision to play the return match in Paris, according to The Team. As a reminder, the Parisian lawn was not in a condition to host a football match in the heart of summer.
If the Brazilians agreed to receive the European champion during the first day of Ligue 1, they also wanted to welcome the return (23rd day), rejecting the exceptional nature (the heatwave) put forward by PSG in this story to assert their rights. The French National Olympic Sports Committee, whose opinion is purely advisory, must render its decision within a month, after consulting both parties. The LFP will then be free to follow the advice of the CNOSF or not.
