PSG Supporters to Boycott French Super Cup Over Venue Decision

RC Lens will have the advantage of hosting PSG in the Trophee des Champions on Sunday. A much-criticised decision. No need to look for Collectif Ultras Paris at Bollaert on Sunday evening. Before the Trophee des Champions in Lens, the Paris Saint-Germain supporters' group announced that it would boycott the trip. The association does not understand how the Ligue de Football Professionnel could determine the venue for the match by a simple draw between the two teams. And the CUP is not the only one shocked. A regular critic of the body and its president, Vincent Labrune, Daniel Riolo, is having another go and suggests scrapping this final. “There is only one person responsible for this mess; it is the LFP,” accused the RMC journalist. “Last year, they were not able to organise it in the summer because they could not find a place, because PSG was not available because of the Club World Cup and the UEFA Super Cup. So PSG called the mascot Vincent Labrune… It is always organised the same old way. But if this Trophee des Champions annoys you so much, let's stop doing it!” "Either the LFP makes a rule that says the Trophee des Champions is played at the champion's home, like the Davis Cup in tennis at one time, but then it has to be in a rule. But there is no rule on the organisation of this Trophee des Champions. We get the impression that they are all annoyed to have to do it. But do not do it if it annoys you! (…) What scares me in this story is that in the end the LFP does not exist,” insisted Daniel Riolo, ready to question the credibility of this trophy. PSG just won another UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday after beating Aston Villa 2-1, and adding a fifth European trophy to their collection. After this achievement, Luis Enrique's side is eager to add another trophy to the list, and the Trophee des Champions was seen as another opportunity to start the season on the right foot. Well, the LFP decision is a huge blow for a club that is always helped by their noisy, in a good way, fans. Let's see how it goes. In other news, PSG are accelerating in the transfer window and are about to secure Barcelona's Ferran Torres for around 50 million euros, according to Fabrizio Romano. Just a matter of time before it's official.
