Overview
- The préfet des Bouches-du-Rhône, Georges‑François Leclerc, canceled Sunday’s game after Météo‑France warned of a Mediterranean storm with 70–120 mm of rain possible in a few hours.
- Officials cited risks of urban flooding, dangerous pre-match crowd movements and lightning that could endanger spectators and players.
- Under LFP regulations, the fixture was reprogrammed for Monday 22 September at 20:00 at the Vélodrome.
- The new slot overlaps with the Ballon d’Or ceremony in Paris, creating logistical issues for PSG and limiting attendance by players and staff.
- PSG face the rescheduled match with several absences: Ousmane Dembélé, Désiré Doué and João Neves are out, and Bradley Barcola has been declared forfait.
