Ligue 1 Showdown Postponed: Could PSG’s Clash with Nantes Impact Their Champions League Aspirations?

La Ligue 1 has extended a helping hand to Paris Saint-Germain as they gear up for their Champions League quest. With an eye on the two-legged quarter-final tie against Aston Villa, set for the 9th and 15th of April, the French league has opted to postpone PSG’s fixture against Nantes. This decision is aimed at allowing head coach Luis Enrique and his squad the necessary time to prepare for their European challenge. Originally slated for the 13th of April, this match will now take place on the 22nd of the same month. However, Nantes is less than pleased about this delay, voicing concerns that it could hinder their battle for survival in Ligue 1. This unease was somewhat allayed by club president Waldemar Kita, who, in an interview with L'Équipe, acknowledged the decision: “It was a good move by the board to assist our clubs engaging in European competitions. It may not favour us, but if it can aid PSG...” Interestingly, a similar situation arose in the Netherlands, where the Dutch federation postponed a league match for Feyenoord, allowing them to focus on their Champions League Round of 16 clashes against Inter Milan. As the clock ticks down to the critical matches ahead, it remains to be seen how these adjustments will impact both PSG and Nantes in their respective pursuits. - Resource: "https://www.sportmediaset.mediaset.it/calcio/ligue-1-psg-nantes-rinviata-in-vista-dei-quarti-di-champions_95344290-202502k.shtml
