PARIS (FRANCE) (ITALPRESS) – Tomorrow’s Champions League match between Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona is not at risk. French Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez has ruled out the possibility of postponing the game because of the tensions gripping the country, which have escalated into violence and looting.

“The matches are not in question,” he assured.

PSG coach Luis Enrique also addressed the issue at a press conference. “I’m a football coach. I have my own opinions, but I’m not the right person to talk about this. I’m here to talk about football. I’m not afraid, and I hope the match can take place under normal conditions,” he said.
