PSG 'crowned champions of France' despite their season being ending prematurely

- PSG are now champions of France after cancellation of season

- The 2019/20 season in France was recently cancelled by League body

- Threat of coronavirus forced them to make the decision

Paris-Saint-Germain have reportedly been crowned champions of France for the third time in a row following the decision of the League body to end the season because of coronavirus.

The French Ligue 1 chiefs this week made the decision to cancel the whole 2019/20 season due to the continuous threat of deadly coronavirus which has killed many people in the world.

Government in France made it clear that all football activities in the country must be suspended until September with the hopes that the pandemic will get solution.

Although the League body have not made an official announcement on the latest development, but according to L'Equipe, they confirmed that PSG are the champions.

This is because Paris-Saint-Germain have been topping the League standings for weeks and they were also sure of retaining their title.
