Paris St-Germain have asked to postpone their Ligue 1 game against title rivals Lens, which is sandwiched between the two legs of their Champions League quarter-final against Liverpool. 
PSG are scheduled to visit Lens in a top-of-the-table encounter on Saturday, 11 April – three days after hosting Arne Slot’s side and three days before the second leg at Anfield.
Liverpool is set to host Fulham in the Premier League on 11 April.
In response to PSG’s postponement request to France’s Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP), Lens, who are chasing a first league title since 1998, issued a statement saying they are strongly against the “troubling sentiment” if the fixture was moved to a later date.
Lens added that their domestic league risks being “gradually relegated to the status of an adjustment variable at the whim of the European imperatives of some”.
“Beyond this specific case, the question raised is a more fundamental one: that of the respect due to the competition itself,” a club statement said.
