Fans of RC Lens, hosting Paris Saint-Germain in a rescheduled Ligue 1 fixture, made their displeasure known with a striking display early in the game. The banner they unfurled bore a clear message: “Nasser kills Ligue 1”, targeting Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, the PSG president.

RC Lens supporters greeted the rescheduled Ligue 1 clash against Paris Saint-Germain with a powerful visual protest at Stade Bollaert-Delelis. The banner, prominently displayed before kickoff, accused Nasser Al-Khelaïfi of undermining the integrity of French football’s top tier.

The fans’ frustration stems from the controversial postponement of the match, which Paris Saint-Germain had requested to prioritize their UEFA Champions League quarter-final against Liverpool. Lens, already facing title implications, saw their fixture pushed aside, sparking widespread criticism.

With the protest banner reading “Nasser kills Ligue 1”, supporters voiced their opposition to what they perceive as PSG’s disproportionate influence over French football’s scheduling and financial landscape. Should Paris Saint-Germain avoid defeat in Lens, the club will secure the Ligue 1 title, further fueling tensions among rival fans.
