EPL: Liverpool Left To Wait And Wonder After Virus Strikes
Liverpool’s German manager Jurgen Klopp gestures from the sidelines during the English FA Cup fourth round football match between Shrewsbury Town and Liverpool at the Montgomery Waters Meadow Stadium in Shrewsbury, north-west of Birmingham in England on January 26, 2020. Anthony Devlin / AFPLiverpool could have been crowned Premier League champions on Monday for the first time in a generation at the home of local rivals Everton. Instead, the stadium will be silent.
But now fans are wondering when, or even if, they will be crowned champions after the coronavirus laid waste to the global sporting calendar. Klopp’s stance won him the support of World Health Organisation chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, who thanked him for his “powerful message”. But they have been peerless in the Premier League, leaving their rivals in their wake to race 25 points clear of defending champions Manchester City.
“If a season ends too soon, its natural winning line is the point it reached before the halt was called: emphatically so, 29 games into a 38-match campaign, which is a respectable distance,” he wrote. “Everybody in the game appreciates what a fantastic season they’ve had and what a wonderful team they are,” he told the BBC.
