PSG Ligue 1 game postponed in between two legs of Liverpool Champions League tie
Paris Saint-Germain's crucial Ligue 1 clash with Lens scheduled for April 11 has been postponed until mid-May in order to give them extra rest in between the two legs of their Champions League quarter-final tie against Liverpool, the French league (LFP) announced Thursday.
PSG will host Liverpool on April 8 in the first leg and then travel to England for the return at Anfield on April 14.
Their trip to Lens has now been pushed back to May 13, in between the last two weekends of the French season.
The decision by the league is a controversial one as Lens had expressed their opposition to the postponement.
Lens are currently second in Ligue 1, one point behind PSG with seven games to play. PSG, the reigning European champions, have a game in hand.
The LFP have also postponed Strasbourg's scheduled game the same weekend against Brest to May 13 to allow them extra rest in between the two legs of their UEFA Conference League quarter-final against Mainz of Germany.
The league justified the postponements by saying it wanted to do everything to help French clubs perform well in European competitions, thereby helping Ligue 1 keep four representatives in the Champions League.
