Stan 16,967 Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/45843131 Quote French authorities are investigating potential match-fixing in Paris St-Germain's 6-1 Champions League win over Red Star Belgrade this month. A Red Star official allegedly placed a bet of nearly 5m euros (£4.3m) for the Serbian club to lose by five goals, reported French newspaper L'Equipe. The French National Finance Prosecutor (PNF) is investigating the claims after being alerted by Uefa. In a statement, PSG expressed their "amazement and indignation". They added: "Paris Saint-Germain reiterates its commitment to a fundamental principle of sport, that of the integrity of competitions and therefore refutes any form of practice that could call into question that integrity." BBC Sport has contacted Red Star Belgrade for comment. Brazil forward Neymar scored a hat-trick and Edinson Cavani, Angel di Maria and Kylian Mbappe also netted at Parc des Princes in Paris on 3 October. Former Germany international Marko Marin scored a second-half goal for Red Star. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only if you can prove that a) They were in aposition to score way more, and yet delibrately did not, and b) They had prior knowledge of how many goals were they supossed to win by.

Carnivore Chris 2,490 Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 (edited) I'd be more surprised if PSG didn't win by 5 goals to be honest. It actually sounds like a wise bet. Edited October 13, 2018 by The Rebel CRS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the face of it, it seems that PSG doesn't have much to do with it but for some reason FIFA and the authorities have insisted that there is cause to investigate them too.
