Paris St Germain has been crowned Ligue 1 champion after the French football season ended early due to the coronavirus crisis.
PSG had a 12-point lead over Marseille in second place when the season was suspended as part of the French government’s measures to contain the spread of COVID-19.
The Premier League has yet to reveal its plans for the best flight in English football since it was suspended due to the coronavirus, with Liverpool leading the way and 25 points above its closest rival.

In France, Lorient was also crowned Ligue 2 champion.
Didier Quillot, executive director of the French League, said: “We have decided that there will be two promotions and two relegations.
It means that Amiens and Toulouse will be relegated and Lorient and Lens will be promoted.
Quillot added: “There may be appeals, but our decisions are sound.”
He said the French league had until May 25 to tell UEFA which clubs would be qualified for European competitions.
In Spain, the government approved La Liga’s approved plans for clubs to test their players for the coronavirus before they return to training as the league seeks to restart the season in June.
The president of La Liga, Javier Tebas, said that not finishing the season would cause collective losses of up to a billion euros.
High-level English clubs will have new conversations on how the season can be restarted at their next shareholders meeting on Friday.
Part of the “project restart” discussions will focus on the use of approved venues, which can mean teams playing on neutral grounds and immediately throws up questions about the integrity of the competition.
Even if the season is restarted, Liverpool could be denied the chance to seal the Premier League title at Anfield if public health issues are taken into account where the final matches are played.
