The LFP have given the capital club the trophy given they were a long way clear

PSG have been declared champions of France, after the season was abandoned because of the coronavirus pandemic. The club were 12 points clear at the top of the table with a game in hand.

PSG chief Nasser Al-Khelaifi said: "We understand, respect and support the decisions taken by the French Government to end the championship. Health, as the government has always said, must be everyone's priority.

"In these difficult times, I hope that this trophy will bring a little happiness and hope to all our supporters, and I am grateful to them for their unwavering support which helps drive Paris St-Germain forward."

On the flip side, Amiens and Toulouse have been relegated. "There might be appeals but our decisions are solid," said Didier Quillot, the chief executive of the French League (LFP).
