According to various reports, the two sides were set to resume the game, with some of PSG's players warming up for the game's resumption in the tunnel, before news came through that the away side would only return if the fourth official in question was not on the field.
Uefa wanted to restart the game on Tuesday, suggesting that fourth official Sebastian Coltescu swapped places with the video assistant referee. However, players did not want him to have any role in the remainder of the game - and so it was abandoned, and rescheduled for Wednesday evening instead.
According to Get French Football News, a number of PSG players, including Kylian Mbappe, said that they "cannot play" if the fourth official was present.
The game resumed this evening, and prior to kick off players from both sides took the knee in the centre circle. They were joined by match officials who reciprocated the gestures.
PSG's Parc des Princes stadium was also adorned with anti-racism messaging.Explore more on these topics:
