"The decision has been taken so the defending champions can 'prepare in the best conditions' for the tie against Liverpool, with the match now moved to 13 May."
"The LFP added that the decision was in line with its 'strategic direction' to 'enable France to retain its fifth place in the Uefa coefficient'."
"Lens, who are one point behind PSG in Ligue One, expressed strong opposition to the postponement, stating that the league is in danger of being reduced to 'an adjustment variable at the whim of the European imperatives of some'."
Paris St-Germain's match against Lens, originally scheduled for April 11, has been postponed to May 13 to allow PSG to prepare for their Champions League quarter-final against Liverpool. The Ligue de Football Professionel agreed to this request, also postponing RC Strasbourg's match against Stade Brestois for similar reasons. The LFP's decision aims to support French clubs in European competitions, which impacts future qualification spots. Lens opposed the postponement, expressing concerns about the league's integrity and its dependence on European competition schedules.
