Paris St Germain Submit Furious Arsenal Complaint

Despite efforts to reverse the decision through local discussions and an official appeal to UEFA, RMC Sport has reported that the governing body will not overturn the police-led restriction. The Parisian club is said to be extremely disappointed by the outcome, particularly given that they were initially led to believe the full allocation would be granted.

“We have lodged an official complaint with UEFA,” a PSG spokesperson confirmed, as frustrations mount over what they view as an unfair and inconsistent application of rules.

The reduction has sparked confusion in the French camp, especially when considering Arsenal’s own complaint about their allocation for the return leg at Parc des Princes, where only 2,000 tickets have been made available to visiting fans. While UEFA’s five percent rule normally mandates a larger visiting allocation, PSG were granted dispensation to reduce this to 4.1 percent due to police guidance in Paris.

In response, the Arsenal Supporters Trust has urged the club to take formal action. Their frustration has drawn support from other English fan groups, including Liverpool’s Spirit of Shankly and the Aston Villa Supporters Trust – both of whom faced similar ticket restrictions earlier in the tournament.

The situation continues to strain relations between the clubs and raises broader questions about UEFA’s ability to enforce parity in fan treatment across Europe.
