Just a reminder of PSG owner Al-Khelaifi … (from wiki)
Al-Khelaifi was a member of the organizing committee for the FIFA Club World Cup.
He has been a member of the UEFA executive committee since 2019, becoming the first Arab to hold an UEFA position. In April 2021, he was appointed as chairman of European Football Clubs (EFC) by the executive board. In October 2025, he became its representative on the FIFA Council

I don’t see any conflict of interest here. No sir, none whatsoever.

Horrible scum. With all the middle east death and destruction he’s one person that we’d actually be better without.
Official statement from Lens on Ligue 1 postponing the match against PSG (Lens will not have any matches for 15 days, then have to play matches every 3 days).
Translated:
On March 6th, the scheduling of the fixture between Racing Club de Lens and Paris Saint-Germain was finalised, establishing a framework that all parties were expected to comply with.
In a spirit of responsibility and measured judgment, Racing Club de Lens made its intention known to Paris Saint-Germain from the very first approaches: it did not wish to see this date changed. True to a certain idea of sporting stability, the club had also chosen to refrain from any public communication on the matter.
However, the recent proliferation of statements, interventions and various suggestions has led us today to break that silence. It has become apparent to us that a worrying feeling is beginning to take hold: that of a French championship gradually being relegated to the status of an adjustment variable, subject to the European obligations of certain clubs. A singular conception of sporting fairness, the equivalent of which is hard to find in any other major continental competition.
To change the date of this fixture today would mean, for Racing Club de Lens, being deprived of competitive football for 15 days and then playing matches every three days — a schedule that corresponds neither to the one set out at the start of the season, nor to the resources of a club that could absorb this kind of new constraint without consequence.
It would therefore be assumed that the tenth-largest budget in the league should adapt to the demands of the most powerful, in the name of interests that, evidently, now extend beyond the domestic sphere — a sphere that has already been scaled back in recent seasons (Ligue 1 reduced to 18 clubs, abolition of the League Cup).
Beyond this particular case, the question raised is a more fundamental one: that of the respect owed to the competition itself. For one is entitled to wonder when, on home soil, the league sometimes appears to be pushed aside in favour of other ambitions — however legitimate they may be.
Racing Club de Lens remains committed to fairness, clarity of rules, and respect for all stakeholders. Simple principles, for a French football that is honest and respected.

So it seems they didn’t accept it was best for French football.
I assume that’s what they are addressing in that opening part. Back on hope they smash them.

Former Liverpool player Markus Babbel has did said, Real are very unsympathic. On my oponion, both Bayern and Real are unsympathic. But in this match, i do hope, Real knock-out Bayern.
The top 3 of the unsympathicst clubs:
- Bazis
- Real
- Barça
