On Tuesday it was officially announced that the 2019-2020 season of the top French football league "Ligue 1" will not be extended. The championship, which was suspended due to the coronavirus, was expected to be extended into the summer, but on Tuesday the country's prime minister Edouard Philippe confirmed that sports events in France will not be held until at least September. "The most important sports events will definitely not take place until at least September. The 2019-2020 football season cannot continue," said E. Philippe. This decision could cause even more controversy in the Champions League, as Paris Saint-Germain already has a place in the quarterfinals, while Lyon has not yet finished their round of 16 series against Juventus. It is not yet clear whether PSG, with a 12-point lead over their closest pursuers, will be declared the French champions. This is already the third European league to cancel its season. Earlier, similar decisions were made by the top football leagues in Belgium and the Netherlands.
