The lawn at the Parc des Princes has been changed due to the previous one being totally degraded by the succession of hot episodes. The new lawn was laid on three days: August 26, 27, and 28, with 700 rolls of turf being imported from Ireland. Jonathan Calderwood, the PSG's head gardener since 2013, has overseen the process to ensure the new lawn is ready for the match. The lawn will be the most watched in France on Friday at 21h05, and the previous lawn was scalped on August 25.
