Soccer Football - Champions League - Group A - Paris St Germain v Galatasaray - Parc des Princes, Paris, France - December 11, 2019 Paris St Germain's Neymar reacts [REUTERS/Benoit Tessier]Paris-Saint Germain plan to play their Champions League matches this season abroad – possibly in Qatar - after all professional sport in France was banned until September. The cancellation of Ligue 1 today throws UEFA's plans to complete European competitions in August into disarray. French champions PSG are already through to the quarter-finals while Lyon have still to play a second leg tie against Juventus in the round of 16. "If it is not possible to play in France, we will play our matches abroad while ensuring the best health security conditions for our players and all our staff." Spanish league chief Javier Tebas insisted there was no reason why football could not be played behind closed doors.
