Red Star and PSG have denied reports of fixing their Champions League match.
The French champions won 6-1 at the Parc des Princes in the last matchday, and currently sit one point behind Napoli.
According to French newspaper L’Équipe, the National Finance Prosecutor [PNF] were alerted by UEFA about a possible fix days before the game.
An informant, who remains anonymous but is considered credible by the paper, allegedly informed the governing body that a Red Star director was preparing to place a €5m bet on his side to lose by five goals.
The sum would have been bet across several websites, and was expected to return tens of millions of Euros.
To ensure that the match would go to plan, the newspaper reports, several of the Serbian side’s players were to be in on the deal.
The PNF attended the match in question, L’Équipe claims, and eyebrows were raised at the 6-1 scoreline.
There is no material evidence that the match was fixed, and PSG would be expected to beat Red Star at home, perhaps heavily.
“This is the first I’m hearing of this,” Dragan Dzajic, honorary President of Red Star, told L’Équipe when the allegations were put to him.
“I haven’t heard anything about it, it’s not possible and it’s not true!”
The allegations also implicated PSG, as the informant claims a meeting was planned between the two club Presidents to discuss the alleged fix, though it never actually came to fruition.
