That would’ve been extra cruel after they crashed out of the Champions League and FA Cup in recent weeks, while they also lost their unbeaten record so there was a danger that their incredible season could be lost.
This should come as a relief to the fans, after a report from The Telegraph has indicated that they are still set to be awarded the title.
It’s still not clear if the season will be played out or what will happen with promotion or relegation next season, but they suggest there was a meeting between clubs about what to do with the league title.
