The draw for the knockout stages of the Champions League took place this Friday. The still committed French clubs know their opponents and the dates of their two meetings. Lille will rub shoulders with Borussia Dortmund, including a first leg scheduled on March 4, three days after the shock of the 24th day of Ligue 1 against PSG. Enough to push the Dogues to ask that this hexagonal duel be offset.
According to information from The teamLOSC therefore sent a complaint to the Professional Football League just after the draw for the C1. The northern goal is to have a little more time to prepare the match against Borussia. The sports media explained that Lille would like the match to Paris Saint-Germain could be played in the early evening rather than at the scheduled schedule for the moment (9:05 p.m.).
High level fifteen days for LOSC
It remains to be seen what the league will respond because the calendar remains very busy. Indeed, Paris has a French Cup match to play on Wednesday and could therefore not be very favorable to this request for gap, even if it is only a few hours. What is certain is that the LFP has already accessed such requests, no later than last year, and precisely for teams of which Lille and PSG were part.
Lille is going to follow high level matches with the reception of Monaco this Saturday (5 p.m.), this famous trip to Paris on March 1, then another in Dortmund on March 4. The reception of Montpellier will then follow in the league (March 9), and that of the BVB for the eighth finals return from the Champions League.
