Uefa president Aleksander Ceferin said on Monday, April 6 that there is “no way” Liverpool should finish the season without the Premier League title, even if the campaign is cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.Jurgen Klopp’s side are currently 25 points clear of second-placed Manchester City with eight games remaining.The Reds are just two wins away from ending their long wait for the trophy.Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool appeared set to secure a first English top-flight title in 30 years when the season was suspended, and it is unknown when it will return and if it will commence at all.
“There is no way Liverpool could end without the title. If the matches are played, then they will almost certainly win it – theoretically, they still haven’t earned the title but they almost certainly will,” Ceferin told Slovenian sports daily Ekipa.
“However, if it could not be played, it would also be necessary to announce the results in some way and find some key on how the champions should be determined. And, of course, again I do not see a scenario in which that would not be Liverpool.
“I understand the fans will be disappointed if it happens in an empty stadium or even in the league offices, but I believe they will get the title one way or another.”Ceferin says he is hopeful the leagues in Italy and Spain will also resume, the two countries are the most affected in Europe from COVID-19 so far.League Winners Will Not Be Crowned Halfway – UEFA
