Liverpool's Champions League Opponents Red Star Under Investigation for Match Fixing Against PSG

French authorities have 'opened an investigation' over allegations of match fixing in Paris Saint-Germain's 6-1 home win over Red Star Belgrade in Champions League Group C on October 3, after being alerted to suspicious betting by UEFA.

An exclusive from L'Equipe claims that a few days before the meeting, UEFA alerted the National Finance Prosecutor (PNF) to a tip off that a 'senior leader' at the Serbian champions intended to place a bet of several million euros on his own team to lose by five goals.

PSG won the game 6-1, with the world's most expensive player Neymar scoring a hat-trick at the Parc des Princes.
