JAKARTA - The question of how the end of the Premier League which was suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic or the corona virus was slightly answered. But can Liverpool - who had a 25-point lead when the league was stopped last month - really can claim the Premier League title?
UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin said the Premier League title for Liverpool this season could not be rejected even if the competition stopped.
Ceferin further explained that Jurgen Klopp's men are almost certain to win, this is their first league title since 1990.
"I see no way to deny Liverpool the title," he told the Slovenian sports daily, Ekipa. Launch Soccerway, Tuesday, April 7.
"If (the competition) is played they will almost certainly win it - theoretically they have not reached the level they are guaranteed to win, but practically it is close.
"However, if (the competition) cannot be played, it is also necessary to announce the results of the season in some way ... and then the champions have to be determined. And I am sure again, I do not see a scenario that can cancel Liverpool's league title.

"I understand the fans will be disappointed if the competition is played in an empty stadium or even ends at a green table, but I believe they will win the title one way or another."
But it looks like that is just one of the scenarios Ceferin has come up with. He emphasized that the main plan is to complete the league around the world.
"I was just talking hypothetically," he said. "We are also preparing for such a scenario, but we are not dealing with the details for now."
"At this point, we are fully committed to completing the competition," he concluded.
