The French government said there was no “concrete threat” to Paris Saint-Germain’s Champions League match against Barcelona on Wednesday in the French capital after Islamic State threatened to attack all four quarter-finals.

“There is not, and the Interior Minister confirmed this earlier today at the cabinet meeting, a concrete threat but we remain cautious at all times,” French government spokeswoman Prisca Thevenot said.
