- Paris Saint-Germain has requested to postpone their crucial Ligue 1 match against Lens to better prepare for their Champions League quarter-final fixtures against Liverpool.
- Lens, who are just one point behind PSG in the title race, have vehemently opposed the request, arguing it would compromise sporting fairness and disadvantage their club.
- The proposed postponement would mean Lens would face a 15-day break followed by a congested fixture schedule, which they state is unmanageable for a club of their resources.
- PSG argues that such rescheduling is a common practice by the Ligue de Football Professionel (LFP) to support French clubs competing in European competitions, benefiting French football as a whole.
- The final decision rests with the LFP, which has a history of assisting French teams involved in European campaigns, as seen with a previous PSG postponement for a Champions League tie.
