PARIS (AP) — The president of soccer club Lyon asked a court Thursday to reverse a decision to cancel the rest of the French league season, saying it was “absurd” to halt the competition so early.
Lyon took the case to the Council of State in a bid to force the league to play the remaining 10 matches of the aborted season.
“It was absurd to call the league off (on April 30) while other leagues reserved the right not to. Germany is already playing again, Spain will next week,” Aulas said at a three-hour long hearing.
