Lens, currently second in Ligue 1 and having played more matches than Paris Saint-Germain, is leaving the decision to postpone the match to the French Professional Football League, which will inevitably come under pressure from the league leader. The postponement is expected to be decided on Thursday. Lens management continues to publicly reject Paris Saint-Germain's proposal, the champion of Ligue 1 and Europe, to postpone their match scheduled for early April. This is to rest their players before hosting Liverpool in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final on April 8. If the match is postponed to May as PSG wants, Lens will not play for two weeks and then will have three matches in a week. This does not serve the players' fitness and is not fair.
