PSG's got a wild ride ahead! With their ticket punched for the Champions League semi-finals, their schedule's getting a major shake-up.

The folks at Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP) are giving them a hand by pushing back Matchday 32 of Ligue 1, giving PSG some breathing room to focus on their European adventures.

At a crucial meeting last Friday, the bigwigs at LFP huddled up to chat about the schedules of clubs still in the Euro mix, including PSG and Olympique de Marseille.

The verdict? Matchday 32's getting a rain check, and everyone's on board, as RMC Sport reports. That means PSG's face-offs against OGC Nice and Olympique de Marseille's showdown with Stade de Reims, originally slated for the May 4th weekend, are now getting sandwiched between the last two matchdays of the season.

For PSG, this rescheduling couldn't come at a better time. With their sights set on Champions League glory, they're gearing up to face off against Borussia Dortmund on May 1st and 7th. Meanwhile, Olympique de Marseille's aiming high in the Europa League, with Atalanta on their radar for May 2nd and 9th.

As for that big PSG vs. OGC Nice showdown? Circle May 15th on your calendar, 'cause that's when it's going down. The official word comes straight from the Ligue 1 website, marking a pivotal moment in PSG's quest for both domestic and European domination.

With this calendar shuffle, PSG's getting the chance to laser-focus on their Champions League dreams. It's a strategic move that shows just how serious they are about bringing home the silverware – both at home and on the continent.

So, as PSG heads into the final stretch of the season, these rescheduled fixtures are like a green light, giving them the go-ahead to go all-in on their quest for glory. With their schedule rejigged, PSG's got their eyes firmly fixed on the prize – lifting trophies in both the domestic league and on the European stage.
