CL - LiVARpool v PSG

[Jammy89]

Don't know if others have seen this but PSG petitioned the French FA to have their league game against Lens moved, so they had a week rest break between CL games with LiVARpool. The French FA have agreed and done this, saying they want to give PSG the best chance so that French League gets same amount of CL places.

Lens are very angry about it as they are in 2nd and only a point behind PSG for the French title and obviously saw this as a great oppertunity to go 2 points clear.

Breaking news is that "Liverpool is ANGRY that the match between Lens and PSG has been rescheduled. They consider it as match-fixing and want UEFA to take measures to prevent this in the future."

Where do we stand on this, on this occassion I think I'm with LiVARpool. Leagues shouldn't be moving games around for european matches.

Again, it's super league in all but name.

Its cheating. But its a darling club so move along, nothing to see here.

Aye, it's cheating.

I support LiVARpool's stance...but the fact that it's them makes it funny.

It is the fixture congestion that levels out the playing field, the more successful you are, the more games you play, the more tired legs you have, the more squad rotation becomes necessary, the less preparation time before games, the more chance your opponents have.

I do not agree with it.

But because its Liverpool, I just do not care 😂

Youre exactly right. Then theres the small print which is PSR which makes it so that only the clubs with very high incomes are able to fill their squads with enough players who are good enough to make the team keep winning when half the squad is knackered.
Just look at Villa and us in seasons when we are in, and out of, the CL.
