Dave Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Paris Saint-Germain's home game against Montpellier has been postponed at the request of the police due to the continued unrest affecting Paris. The match was due to take place on Saturday at 4pm but with the French capital having been rocked by riots over the last few weekends, the decision has been taken to call the game off. French football authorities say police fear they will not have enough forces available to guarantee security amid protests in Paris city centre. The postponement means PSG will have a free weekend ahead of their vital Champions League clash with Red Star Belgrade in Serbia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Anti-government protests in France are having a major impact on this weekend's Ligue 1 schedule. Monaco's derby clash with Nice on Friday night and St Etienne's match with Marseilles on Sunday have now been called off, following the earlier postponements of Toulouse-Lyon and Paris Saint-Germain-Montpellier. Recent demonstrations against fuel tax rises and other grievances have resulted in rioting, looting and hundreds of injuries. France's government is deploying extra security around the country amid threats of new protests on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
