Paris St-Germain-Montpellier: Saturday’s Ligue 1 game postponed at police request

Paris St-Germain’s Ligue 1 game against Montpellier in the French capital on Saturday has been postponed at the request of the police.

Violent protests have been held in major French cities over the past three weekends against a rise in fuel tax.

The “gilets jaunes” (yellow vests) protests have now grown to reflect more widespread anger at the government and more are planned for this weekend.

League leaders PSG said a new date for the match “will be set in due course”.
