PSG gains advantage before Champions League clash against Villa

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has been allowed to change the date of a Ligue 1 match, giving them an advantage ahead of their upcoming Champions League clash with Aston Villa. The two teams will meet for the first leg at PSG's Parc des Princes on April 9. Originally, PSG was scheduled to play Nantes on April 13. However, they were able to postpone this match to April 22 after making a request to the Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP). This means PSG will not have a game between their two Champions League matches. Nantes is unhappy with this decision, claiming it hurts the fairness of Ligue 1. Fans of Nantes expressed their frustration online, questioning whether the club would refund tickets for those unable to attend the rescheduled match. Some suggested a boycott. Aston Villa fans are also upset. They will play Southampton in the Premier League in between their matches against PSG. Many believe this gives PSG an unfair advantage. Currently, PSG leads Ligue 1 by a significant margin, while Nantes is fighting to stay clear of the relegation zone. PSG is aiming for their first Champions League title after previously coming close in 2020. They have shown improved performance in the knockout stage, defeating teams like Liverpool. Villa's coach, Unai Emery, will face his former club in this crucial matchup. Villa's Marco Asensio, on loan from PSG, has been in great form and is not restricted from playing in this tie.
