PSG given weekend off before Champions League quarter-final second leg

PSG have been given the weekend off in between their two Champions League games against Liverpool.

They were due to face second-placed Lens in Ligue 1 on 11 April, but that will now take place on 13 May instead, following PSG’s request to move the game.

Lens were left unhappy with the decision, saying in a statement: “While expressing its disagreement with the unanimous decision of the LFP Board of Directors to postpone the match against Paris Saint-Germain, RC Lens acknowledges it responsibly, reaffirms its determination to pursue its sporting objectives, and specifies that ticketing arrangements will be communicated individually by email to each supporter.”

PSG face Liverpool in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals in Paris on 8 April, before the second leg at Anfield six days later.
