PA Images | "We are on the wrong track, it may not be too late to try to imagine, in the light of what is happening everywhere in Europe, something that is politically coherent: We had until the end August and maybe even early September to finish," Lyon's president, Jean-Michel Aulas, told French newspaper L'Équipe. 

Jean-Michel Aulas expects French football to lose around €700 million due to the decision to cancel the season.

The president's belief Ligue 1 could have been finished has been reinforced by other European leagues looking to reconvene.
