PSG crowned Ligue 1 champions and Lyon miss out on Champions League after coronavirus cancellation
Oct 19, 2021
The goal can be confirmed that after the cancellation of the 2019-20 season, the Paris Saint-Germain team has won the Ligue 1 championship, and Lyon has missed the European football game for the first time since 1997.
Earlier this month, the Football Federation (Ligue de Football Professionnel) outlined plans to restart the sport in June, and France will lift the lockdown measures on May 11.
However, French Prime Minister Edouard Philippe insisted that this would not happen during the National Assembly on Tuesday, while revealing that sporting events would not be allowed until September at the earliest.
This announcement made several teams in Ligue 1 wait for the fate of the final position, and PSG ranked clearly at the top of the list by 12 points, one game less than Marseille in second place.
After voting on how to determine the league rankings, LFP confirmed on Thursday that Thomas Tuchel ’s men won the French championship for the third consecutive year, while Lyon, ranked seventh, failed to qualify for the top European club competition.
The classification is based on the average points each team has scored in the game so far, which means that Marseille and Rennes have won a place in the Champions League.
Elsewhere, Amiens and Toulouse were relegated to League 2 after being dropped at the bottom of the leaderboard. Lorient and Lens will be promoted to the second level#aclotzone
Nimes ranked 18th in Ligue 1, preparing to play a relegation playoff with three Ligue 2 teams. After determining that he would not participate in the extra competition, Nimes was represented.
Didier Quillot, the general manager of LFP, said that as far as they are concerned, the 2019-20 French football season is now over and their goal is to start the 2020-21 season no later than August 22.
He said: "There may be an appeal, but our decision is firm.
"Unless force majeure and new epidemics break out, we will not restart the next championship after August."
However, Quilotte did say that if UEFA's permission is obtained, they will reach the final of the French Cup and the French League in early August, which will affect the qualification of the European League.
He said: "If the finals of Coupe de la Ligue and Coupe de France are held, then the seats in the Champions League will be allocated to their winners, if the winner is not PSG. The rules will not change.
Lille, Reims and Nice seem to have booked the attractions of the Europa League through their league rankings, but things may change now.
LFP President Nathalie Boy De La Tour said that they have exhausted all possible options for restoring the league, and this solution is the fairest in their opinion.
She said: "We have been studying the recovery scenario in mid-June. We work for the club's economic and financial work, sponsorship and ticketing. We work behind the scenes. I don't want to say at least. I came to you with specific things. "
France canceled the example of the Belgium Youth Football League and the Dutch professional league this season, and it was suggested that other major European leagues will take the same drastic measures in the coming weeks.
UEFA President Aleksander Severin and Secretary-General Theodore Theodoridis have set deadlines for submitting a season restart plan for the relevant leagues. Prior to this they have made it clear that their main goal is Complete all schedules before the month.
The European Football Council statement said: "National associations and / or leagues should be able to communicate with UEFA before May 25, 2020, and plan to restart their domestic matches-including the date and form of the restart."
Bundesliga officials are working hard to restart the game on May 9, the game will be held behind closed doors in Germany, while the La Liga club is allowed to resume training on May 4, and Serie A has adopted a similar approach.
At the same time, Premier League club executives are scheduled to meet on Friday to discuss how best to advance in England, as Covid-19 cases and deaths across Europe continue to rise.
