UCL- PSG under investigation for alleged match-fixing

French police are investigating possible match-fixing involving Paris Saint-Germain, after a tip off from UEFA.

PSG thrashed Red Star Belgrade 6-1 on October 3, with Neymar netting an impressive hat-trick at the Parc des Princes.

But days before the match, UEFA received a tip off that a senior official at Red Star Belgrade, who has not been identified, along with accomplices, were ready to place a mega bet on their outfit to lose heavily.

A member of the Red Star travelling party, allegedly bet €5million on the Serbian side to lose the fixture by five goals.

The bet, which would have come in, would have yielded massive profits of tens of millions of euros.

Contacted by L’Equipe, Red Star Belgrade President Dragan Dzajic said: “You are the first to tell me about this. I know absolutely nothing about this. This is not possible, this is not true.”

A PSG statement said: “It is with the utmost amazement and indignation that we learn the information you are sharing with us today.

“At no time was any club member asked to discuss matters other than those strictly related to the organisation of the match, namely meetings, visits and other official lunches around every UEFA Champions League match.”

In a statement UEFA said: “UEFA never comments on potential, or the existence of, investigationsinto alleged match-fixing as to not compromise the process of suchinvestigations.

“UEFA only communicates on specific cases/matches once disciplinaryproceedings have been opened and/or decisions have been taken.

“Decisions taken by UEFA’s disciplinary bodies related to match-fixing are listed here.”
