PARIS: Security will be "considerably reinforced" at Wednesday's (Apr 10) Champions League match in the French capital between Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona after a "threat" from the Islamic State group, the interior minister said.

Gerald Darmanin said the militant group had threatened all the quarter-final matches on Tuesday and Wednesday, not just PSG's first-leg clash with Barcelona at the Parc des Princes.

Darmanin said there had been "a clear threat publicly expressed by the Islamic State".
