Juve Won’t Accept Title After Coronavirus — Chief

By Daily Sports on April 3, 2020

Juventus would not accept winning the Serie A title as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, according to Italian Football Federation (FIGC) president Gabriele Gravina.

Maurizio Sarri’s side lead the Italian league by a single point ahead of Lazio with 12 matches remaining.

Italy has been under lockdown for three weeks and Serie A, like football competitions around the world, is at a standstill with no indication of when it may restart.

Fiorentina and Torino owners are confident the league will be unable to finish but Gravina has said it would be an “injustice” to scrap the campaign.

“The top priority is completing the season,” he told TMW Radio. “The idea is to start from May 20 or early June, to end in July.

“There’s even been talk of August and September. I’ve made it clear that I’d hate to take the risk of compromising another season to save this one.

“I think scrapping the season would be rather complex. It would be a grave injustice, which would lead to a legal emergency during an epidemiological one.

“Only the Scudetto would need assigning and Juventus themselves, I believe, have expressed a dislike of such of a solution.”

Belgium became the first European top-tier league to cancel the rest of its season and crowned Club Brugge as league champions on Thursday. (ESPN)
