Lens Unhappy with Schedule Change for PSG Match
Mirror

Originally, the match between Lens and PSG was set to take place on April 11, but it has now been moved to May 13. This change comes as both teams are currently at the top of the French league, with PSG leading Lens by just one point.
In response to the decision, RC Lens released a statement expressing their disappointment and disagreement with the change. Despite this, the club has accepted the new schedule and will inform ticket holders about the new arrangements via email.
The French football governing body, LFP, had received a request from PSG to postpone the match, and they agreed to the change. The LFP has a history of supporting French clubs competing in European tournaments.
This is not the first time PSG has been granted a schedule change to accommodate their European matches. Previously, they were given a weekend off before playing against Chelsea in the Champions League.
The LFP stated that their decision to reschedule the match is part of their strategy to help French clubs succeed in European competitions, which in turn benefits French football as a whole.

Benjamin Parrot, the general manager of RC Lens, had spoken out against the proposed schedule change earlier in the week. He questioned the LFP's decision to prioritize PSG's Champions League match over the integrity of the French league.
Parrot argued that Lens had built their team and strategy around competing in the French league and cup, and that the schedule change disrupts their plans. He also pointed out that the reigning European champions should have anticipated the possibility of still being in the competition at this stage.
Parrot expressed his concern that the French league is being treated as an adjustable variable to accommodate the Champions League schedule. He wondered if the same decision would have been made if PSG had a more significant lead in the league.
The situation has highlighted the challenges of balancing the needs of clubs competing in both domestic and international tournaments. The LFP's decision has sparked debate about the importance of prioritizing French clubs' success in European competitions.
