Former Liverpool manager Gerard Houllier believes his old club should be awarded the Premier League title even if the season is not completed because of the Covid-19 crisis.
Liverpool are 25 points clear at the top with nine games left to play in the Premier League, which has been on hold since March 9 as the novel coronavirus spread across the globe.
According to Houllier, who led Liverpool to FA Cup and Uefa Cup glory in 2001 during his six-year spell at Anfield, Juergen Klopp's team would be deserved champions. Asked if they should be awarded their first top-flight title since 1990, the former France coach told TalkSport:"Yeah. "That’s what they did in France. They gave it to Paris St Germain. They had a 12-point lead and I think Liverpool needed just two games to win the title.
