Overview
- Kickoff is set for Monday at 20:00, creating a direct clash with the Ballon d'Or ceremony in Paris.
- Météo‑France warned of intense rain and thunderstorms with expected accumulations of 60–90 mm, locally up to 120 mm, and authorities flagged risks from urban runoff to potential crowd surges.
- The LFP applied article 548, which calls for a next‑day replay when a match cannot start due to weather, after the prefect’s order canceled Sunday’s fixture.
- Discussions over the new time were described as tense, with Marseille pushing for Monday night and PSG preferring an earlier slot or a later date, before the LFP fixed 20:00.
- PSG remain short‑handed with injuries to Ousmane Dembélé, Joao Neves, Bradley Barcola and Désiré Doué, and the squad returned to Paris following the postponement.
