Paris, March 24: French Club RC Lens have rejected a request from Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) to reschedule their upcoming Ligue 1 match, saying the domestic competition should not be adjusted to suit European fixtures.
The match is scheduled for April 11 at Lens’ home ground and comes in between PSG’s UEFA Champions League quarterfinal matches against Liverpool FC. PSG had asked for the fixture to be postponed to manage their schedule, but Lens have taken a firm stand against the move.
In a statement released on Tuesday, Lens said it would be unfair to change the calendar for one team’s European commitments and raised concerns about maintaining balance in the league.
The Ligue 1 governing body is expected to take a final call soon. (IANS)
