French authorities investigate whether PSG game against Red Star was fixed

French authorities are currently investigating a potential match‑fixing in Paris St‑Germain's 6‑1 Champions League win over Red Star Belgrade earlier this month.

French newspapers have reported that a Red Star official allegedly placed a bet of nearly £4.3 million for the Serbian club to lose by five goals.

The French National Finance Prosecutor is investigating the claims after being alerted by UEFA.

In a statement, PSG has expressed their amazement and indignation.

They say Paris Saint‑Germain reiterates its commitment to a fundamental principle of sport, that of the integrity of competitions and therefore refutes any form of practice that could call into question that integrity.
