Lyon president Aulas writes letter to French government requesting Ligue 1 season be resumed

Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas has continued his fight against the decision to end the Ligue 1 season early with a letter to the French government.

Aulas’s side were among the biggest losers from the decision to end the campaign as, with the table finalised on a points-per-game basis, they remained in seventh place – missing out on European qualification for the first time this century.

Across Europe, a number of leagues including the Eredivisie, Belgian Pro League and Scottish Premiership have ended their seasons while the Bundesliga has led the way of those looking to get back underway.
