A conflict brewing? Lense’s response to PSG’s request to reschedule the match is now known

The battle between PSG and Lens continues not just on the pitch, but also behind the scenes.

Details: According to RMC-Sport, after PSG officially requested the French Football Federation to reschedule their Ligue 1 Matchday 29 clash with Lens due to their involvement in European competitions, the Parisian club was met with a firm refusal from Lens.

Reports indicate that Lens have no intention of moving the previously scheduled fixture and insist the match should be played as per the calendar, arguing there are no justified or fair reasons for a postponement.

Currently, Lens sit second in the league, trailing leaders PSG by just a single point. It's clear Lens are looking to capitalize on PSG's demanding Champions League quarter-final against Liverpool on April 8 and 14.

However, it's worth noting that the LFP commission is set to meet on Thursday to deliver the final verdict regarding a possible rescheduling. If they side with PSG, Lens's stance will ultimately have no bearing on the decision.

Reminder: Two Ligue 1 matches involving PSG and Strasbourg could be postponed. What happened?
