UEFA president feels Liverpool should win the Premier League

UEFA president Aleksandr Ceferin believes there’s no reason for Liverpool not to win the Premier League this season.

The Reds are 25 points clear at the top of the table and only need six more points to clinch their first ever league title in 30 years.

“I can’t see a way Liverpool could be left without a title,” Ceferin said to local sports Slovenian newspaper EkispaSN.

“If the Premier League resumes play, Liverpool will almost certainly win the title. Theoretically it’s not all over, but practically Liverpool are on the verge of it.

“If by any chance the play will not resume, we still have to find a way to declare final results, to declare champions.

“And again I cannot see, I cannot imagine a scenario, in which the champions would not be Liverpool.

“I understand the fans will be disappointed if it happens in an empty stadium or even in the league offices, but I believe, they will get the title one way or another.

However, Ceferin said UEFA have not made any decisions on how leagues should be finalised if games cannot be played.

“We will be ready for such scenarios, but we are not working on the details of them right now.

“Currently we are completely focused on bringing the competitions to the end on the fields of play.”
