Lyon issue new call for reversal of Ligue 1 cancellation

Lyon have made another impassioned plea for the Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP) to reverse its decision to abandon the 2019-20 season amid the coronavirus pandemic as they congratulated La Liga for being granted permission to resume.

Les Gones and their president Jean-Michel Aulas have been among the most ardent decriers of the LFP ending the campaign, which was confirmed on April 30, and intend to take their appeal to the Council of State.

The LFP announced table positions were to be decided by virtue of points per game, meaning Paris Saint-Germain were crowned champions, Marseille and Rennes qualified for the Champions League, and Toulouse and Amiens were relegated.
