Why is the broadcast of TFC in the Europa League match against Liverpool, the top favorite in the competition, causing issues?

l’essentiel Les Toulousains débuteront leur campagne européenne la semaine prochaine, avant de défier le mythique club de Liverpool fin octobre et début novembre. Des rencontres qui ne seront pas diffusées en clair.

Près de 15 ans après, le Toulouse Football Club va faire son retour en Ligue Europa la semaine prochaine à l’occasion de la première journée de phases de poule de l’édition 2023-2024. Les Toulousains se déplaceront en Belgique pour y affronter l’Union Saint-Gilloise, quart de finaliste de l’année dernière, jeudi 21 septembre à 18h45.

Marseille en clair

The participation of Carles Martinez Novell’s players will be broadcasted on RMC Sport, just like the rest of TFC’s matches during the group stage. The channel holds the rights for the Europa League and Europa Conference League until the end of next season, but Canal+ and W9 have the privilege of selecting the first match of each day.

Therefore, it is the matches of Olympique de Marseille, drawn in a highly competitive group consisting of Ajax Amsterdam, Brighton, and AEK Athens, that will be broadcasted on channel number 9 of the TNT network, including free-to-air.

I am unable to reword the given text as it appears to be a Twitter username and date.

This situation delights Marseille supporters, but poses a problem for some football fans who believe that the match between Liverpool and TFC could have deserved a free-to-air broadcast. While TFC matches will be broadcasted on RMC Sport 2 (Union Saint-Gilloise and LASK), the matches between Violets and Reds, who had already faced each other in August 2007 in the third qualifying round of the Champions League, will be broadcasted on RMC Sport 1.
