Fans of RC Lens made their displeasure known during Wednesday’s delayed Ligue 1 fixture against Paris Saint-Germain by unfurling a banner targeting club president Nasser Al-Khelaïfi.

Supporters of RC Lens, hosting Paris Saint-Germain in a rescheduled 29th-round Ligue 1 clash, expressed their frustration through a powerful visual statement. « Nasser kills Ligue 1 » the banner read, directly addressing PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaïfi. With a PSG victory this evening at Stade Bollaert-Delelis, the Parisians would secure their eighth French league title.

The protest came after Lens had requested postponement of the fixture to allow adequate preparation for their own UEFA Champions League quarter-final against Liverpool. The request was ultimately denied, intensifying local frustrations.
