Press review: Lens v PSG postponed, Parc des Princes future | OneFootball

This Wednesday, March 25, the French press (from a sporting perspective) focused, on the Paris Saint-Germain side, on the tensions surrounding the possible postponement of Lens/PSG, a Matchday 29 Ligue 1 fixture currently scheduled for Saturday, April 11, between the two Champions League quarter-final matches for the Parisians against Liverpool. The future of the Parc des Princes is also still being discussed.

It is understandable that this is a complex issue, caught between “helping” PSG in view of the Champions League and simply respecting the schedule, with Lens having no reason to make an effort for another club. Each club is defending its position, and the debate should be lively at the meeting scheduled for this Thursday to reach a decision.

On the other hand, all this commotion is becoming tiring. Since this weekend, it has been the main topic, with statements, “analyses,” opinions… The matter could simply be allowed to play out without making such a big deal out of it. Besides, the postponement request made by Strasbourg for its match against Brest between the two Europa Conference League quarter-finals has received far less attention.

Finally, there is the famous PSG stadium issue, revived somewhat by the election of Emmanuel Grégoire as mayor of Paris. A sale of the Parc des Princes may be conceivable, but it is far from certain, especially as the club has turned toward ambitious projects in Poissy or Massy. Once again, this is a case of claims flying in all directions, when what is really needed is to let the parties involved move toward something concrete.
