Recently, a scandal erupted in French football over PSG's intentions to reschedule their Ligue 1 match against Nantes due to their participation in the Champions League quarter-finals. Despite the opponent's resistance, the Parisians got their way.

Details: According to L’Equipe, Ligue 1 agreed with PSG's arguments, and the match will indeed be moved from April 13 to April 22. This gives Luis Enrique's team a six-day rest between matches with Aston Villa.

However, the Parisians will then face four matches in 12 days. In addition to the game with Aston Villa on April 15 and with Nantes on April 22, matches with Le Havre and Nice are also scheduled (tentative dates are April 20 and 27, respectively). Nantes also has a busy week: on the 20th, they play Rennes, and on the 27th, Toulouse.

Reminder: Nantes opposed the rescheduling of the match, arguing that they are fighting for survival, and if the match with PSG is moved to a weekday, the calendar at the end of the season will be too overloaded. Nantes also believed they could earn more from ticket sales on a weekend.
