Football: Final Ligue 1 table after 2019-20 season declared over
The LFP released on Thursday the final Ligue 1 table after it ended the 2019-20 season in the face of the coronavirus pandemic and crowned Paris Saint-Germain champions on a points-per-match basis.
LFP chief Didier Quillot told reporters that the league wanted a "performance indicator that took into account the number of points gained from all played matches" to decide final positions.
Quillot also explained that head-to-head records had been chosen to decide placing for teams who finished on the same points.
