So if it is necessary, of course we could do it. As things stand, however, the issue of curfews, and the implementation of those curfews, seems better suited to the situation we may be facing.”He did not say which cities ‌‌would impose partial curfews nor what form they would take, although he ruled out imposing a full curfew across Paris.“These curfews must be local and partial. It is out of the question to put all of Paris ⁠⁠under curfew.”At the same news conference, Interior Minister Laurent Nunez told reporters there were no plans to cancel the ⁠⁠match.PSG players Marquinhos and William Pacho participated in a training session at the Campus Paris-saint-germain" class="entity-link entity-organization" data-entity-id="4147" data-entity-type="organization">Paris Saint-Germain in Poissy on the eve of the match [Franck Fife/AFP]PSG, the reigning European and French champions, will host the Spanish visitors at the Parc des Princes on Tuesday night.
