[VIDEO] Ilkay Gundogan: It’s fair to award Liverpool the Premier League title

To the surprise of the many, Man City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan believes it is fair to award Liverpool the Premier League title even if the season is not completed.

While the league is suspended until 30 April, Liverpool already have a 25-point lead over City and they only need two wins to win the title.

“You have to be fair as a sportsperson,” said Gundogan to ZDF.

“There are different opinions. For clubs who have had a very good season, it obviously wouldn’t be nice if it was cancelled now.

“On the other hand, for clubs who aren’t doing as well and are maybe in the relegation places, an abandonment would obviously suit them.”

Gundogan also opened for a pay cut if Man City asked players to accept reduced wages.

“Of course I think it’s OK, that goes without saying but there’s been no discussion in England yet.”
