Paris Saint-Germain's request to have their Ligue 1 trip to Lens postponed - originally sandwiched in-between the two-legged Champions League quarter-final against Liverpool - has been successful. But, following a formal request from PSG, the Ligue de Football Professionel (LFP) have confirmed that their game against Lens won't go ahead and will instead be rescheduled for a later date.

It means that PSG, who sit one point above second-place Lens in the Ligue 1 table, are due to have a six-day break between the first leg on Wednesday, April 8 and the second leg on Tuesday, April 14. We realise that Ligue 1 is becoming the variable used to adjust the Champions League schedule.

They might simply rotate their squad." Responding to Lens' statement earlier this week, a PSG spokesperson said: "The performances of French clubs competing in European competitions benefit French football as a whole, especially given that France currently occupies 6th place in the UEFA coefficient rankings for the 2025-2026 season. "The prospect of seeing two French clubs reach the semi-finals of European competitions represents a significant opportunity for Ligue 1, both sportingly and economically." After the March international break, PSG face Toulouse on Friday, April 3 in their final fixture before the two-legged Champions League quarter-final tie against Liverpool.
