Ligue 1

Madrid asked for Alaves to be played on Saturday to prepare for Arsenal but got denied

It's becoming a practice yeah but unlikely it will work in La Liga. Imagine just the outrage if either Barca or Madrid had that advantage. In Ligue 1 not really, it's just PSG that's relevant in CL. They even kind of root for PSG in the CL.

Benfica did it too iirc.
Honestly with the insane schedule of the new CL format I can see more teams wanting it.
This April schedule is brutal.

The issue is that Porkchop and France allow it. Germany doesn't but move games to Fridays for an extra days rest.

While LaLiga and EPL do neither.

So we have an unfair competitive advantage created.

So UEFa needs to change the rules to either allow it or stop it. The latter would make more sense.

As you initially said, if the club really want the rest, then play the B side or sub players. Done.

I am not sure UEFA has the authority to do either. They have almost no power on leagues.
