Liverpool should not be crowned Premier League champions if promotion and relegation is not honoured this season. That is the view of Reds hero John Barnes, who is adamant that the current campaign should be played out to a finish, no matter of the timeframe.
Jurgen Klopp ’s side were 25 points clear at the top of the league when the coronavirus pandemic put paid to all football. And their huge lead meant the team were just a couple of wins away from claiming a first league title in 30 years.
But the postponement of the season has put the celebrations on hold and whatever happens from here on in, their brilliant campaign has been tainted somewhat.
