PSG dedicate Ligue 1 title triumph to 'everyday heroes' on coronavirus front line

Paris Saint-Germain have dedicated their Ligue 1 title triumph to healthcare workers and "everyday heroes" who have made sacrifices during the coronavirus crisis.

PSG were declared champions on Thursday after the Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP) confirmed final standings will be decided on a points-per-game basis.

The announcement came two days after French prime minister Edouard Philippe said there would be no professional sporting events in the country before September, bringing the 2019-20 campaign to an end.

Thomas Tuchel's side were 12 points clear at the top of the table with a game in hand when the season was suspended in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
