After the announcement of the French Prime Minister Edouard Philippe, french professional sports leagues including football and rugby won’t be able to resume action before September due to COVID-19 restriction.
Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi said that the club will be completing the rest of the Champions League season abroad if the regulations as per announcement do not allow them to play in the country.
Al-Khelaifi said: "We respect the French government decision. With agreement from UEFA, we plan on competing in the Champions League, wherever and whenever it is held."
"If it is not possible to play in France we will play our matches abroad, ensuring the best medical safety conditions for our players and all of our staff."
Earlier, UEFA had set a deadline of August 2 for domestic leagues to be completed and French Professional Football League (LFP) had announced plans for Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 to resume on June 17.

While the league and some clubs may want to resume training after May 11, the French government doesn’t see it as an absolute priority and have decided to ban professional sporting leagues including football and rugby until September.
Before the season was halted due to the outbreak of COVID-19, PSG, Marseille and Rennes occupied the UEFA Champions League whereas Lille are taking the Europa League spot. Nimes, Amiens and Toulouse are in the relegation zone. Whereas in Ligue 2, Lorient and Lens are in promotion spots.
