Ligue 1 cancelled too soon for Di Maria as PSG star eyed Ligue 1 assist record

Paris Saint-Germain star Angel Di Maria has said that he feels the Ligue 1 season was cancelled too hastily.

The French League (LFP) elected to call time on the 2019-20 season at the end of April in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, around six weeks after play had first been suspended in France.

With the virus now largely under control in the country, which is emerging from lockdown, Di Maria believes that the example of Germany, in which football has been possible for three weeks, could have been followed, particularly as Europe’s other major leagues are gearing up to finish their seasons.
