German midfielder Ilkay Gundogan, from Manchester City, would concede the title of the 2019-20 Premier League to Liverpool if the competition cannot resume. The English tournament is currently suspended due to the new coronavirus pandemic.
Gundogan expressed in an interview with the German channel ZDF that it would be "fair" to award the crown to the 'Reds', who have a 25-point lead over Manchester City and were just two wins away from mathematically securing their first title in thirty years before the suspension of the English competition.
"You have to be fair as a sportsman," commented the German midfielder regarding the possibility that the tournament cannot resume. Liverpool is the clear leader of the Premier League, but after the COVID-19 pandemic, their probable title could be canceled, as happened with the rest of the English competitions, except for the League Two.
The Premier League clubs are scheduled to meet again on April 3 to address the situation. For now, the tournament is suspended until the end of April, but everything indicates that the situation will be extended due to the evolution of the new coronavirus pandemic. (Information from EFE)
