Antonio Rudiger believes Liverpool should be awarded the Premier League title and the season should be ended immediately amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Jurgen Klopp's side boast a stunning 25-point lead over nearest challengers Manchester City and were just two games away from mathematically securing their first league title since 1990 when the league was shutdown due to COVID-19.
But for Rudiger, he has put domestic rivalries aside and the Chelsea defender feels that Klopp's men are worthy champions whether the season reaches a conclusion or not.
'Honestly, as far as I'm concerned they can give Liverpool the title,' Rudiger told ZDF.
'At the end of the day they deserve it, they've had a great season and are leading the table with, oh I don't know how many points.
'The thing is they were going to win the thing anyway, so I think the title is theirs ethically. Of course, I hope that the season can be finished and it will be sporting for everyone.
'But, as I've said before if we continue to play and there is a danger, and we ignore that while people are dying somewhere in the world, I don't know if that would sit right on my conscience.'

Us Chelsea fans are stuck in dilemma. Either take the necessary evil and let Liverpool win the league or have Liverpool not win the league but end up risking potentially losing 4th to our top 4 rivals Sheffield United 😶
