'They are robbing us' - Lyon president Aulas criticises Ligue 1 for ending season early amid coronavirus



The French club look set to miss out on European football for the first time in 23 years after the 2019-20 campaign was abandoned due to Covid-19
Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas says the club have been "robbed" of the chance to play for European football and says the decision of Ligue 1 to end the season early and award final placings on a points-per-game basis is unfair.
After the announcement by French prime minister Edouard Philippe that no football could take place before September, the league governing body (LFP) confirmed on Thursday that the season was over and that the championship and European places would be awarded via points per game.
This means Paris Saint-Germain are awarded a third successive Ligue 1 title, while Marseille and Rennes take the other two Champions League places.
