The Ligue de Football Professionnel has officially postponed Paris Saint-Germain’s domestic fixture against Lens to grant the French champions extra preparation time for their upcoming Champions League quarter-final against Liverpool.
Paris Saint-Germain have been handed a significant boost ahead of their Champions League quarter-final against Liverpool after the LFP postponed their Ligue 1 match with Lens.
Originally scheduled for April 11, the game will now be played on May 13.
The league stated the decision was made “to prepare in the best conditions” and to help France retain its high UEFA coefficient standing.
While Luis Enrique’s side will enjoy a six-day rest between the two legs, Liverpool must navigate a Premier League fixture against Fulham on April 11.
PSG’s request was granted despite strong opposition from Lens.
The LFP noted that the board “unanimously decided, apart from the clubs concerned, to postpone the matches,” ensuring the reigning European champions have every advantage for the high-stakes continental tie.
