Courtois Argues Points Don't Matter, Barcelona Doesn't Deserve Title

LaLiga has a tough decision to make if football can’t resume in Spain to finish the remainder of the current season. In France, Ligue 1 and 2 decided to end the season and award PSG the title. Awarding PSG the title wasn’t too controversial as the French giant was 12 points clear of second place with a game in hand. The logic does seem sound though, the team with the most points when the season ended gets the title. Real Madrid’s Thibaut Courtois doesn’t think so and has a different answer to who should be La Liga champions.

Posted on his amazingly confusing personal website that looks like a virtual reality wannabe, Courtois argued that Barcelona — the current league leader — isn’t deserving of the title. Instead the Belgian argues that because of Real Madrid’s victory and draw against Barcelona earlier in the season, Real Madrid deserves the title.

Sorry Courtois, that’s not how league tables work. If this was Champions League play then yes, congratulations, Real Madrid wins on aggregate. If leagues were to function that way then clearly Watford deserves to be Premier League champion after winning the aggregate against Liverpool 3-2. Before the season was postponed the LaLiga table looked like this.

La Liga Table Before Suspension.

LaLiga president Javier Tebas is unlikely to follow Ligue 1’s footsteps as he heavily criticized the decision to end the French season. Tebas is still hopeful for a restart in either May or June.

The LaLiga president will become extra hopeful for his league to restart with the news of the Bundesliga aiming to restart on May 15th.
