Luis Rubiales, the President of the Royal Spanish Football Federation, has ruled that Barcelona cannot be handed the Spanish La Liga trophy until the season ends.

The La Liga is currently on suspension due to COVID-19 pandemic with Europe now the new epicentre of the virus that broke out in Wuhan, China.

Barcelona is currently topping the table with two points ahead of rivals Real Madrid.

However, the season has to end before the title can be handed to the team on top.

“We have been working with UEFA for several days on the phone and by videoconference,” Spanish newspaper, Diario AS quoted Rubiales as saying.

“We have put forward some proposals that have been satisfactorily approved.

“We already know what the situations are for the European, local and Euro competitions.

“The competitions in Spain have to be finished before June 30 and all teams have to play all their matches.

“That’s what we discussed with the 55 member federations and with the Executive Committee. We have all voted favorably.”
