Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has voiced his opinion on the possible resumption and completion of the LaLiga Santander season.
He is in favour of finishing the season and believes that it would be extremely unfair on him and his Real Madrid teammates should Barcelona win the league by default.
"We are only two points behind Barcelona and if the season were to be cancelled and Barcelona declared champions then it would be unjust," Courtois said in an interview on Belgian TV.
"We drew with them and beat them this year, we were the better team.
"In the case of Liverpool, it would be different because I don't even know how many points ahead they are.
"I want to finish the season."
The Real Madrid squad are to undergo tests for COVID-19 on Wednesday and if all goes well then training could resume next Monday.
"We need to be 100 percent sure that we are taking the necessary medical precautions before we start playing again," Courtois said.
"What happens if a player from another team gets infected?
"I guess there are lots of things to consider, but I would love to finish the season."

It's obvious Courtois would say that ,any Barca player in Madrid shoes would have said the same thing. Bcos Madrid didn't lose to Barca ,and so they feel were the better team,like Courtois put it. But bn the best doesn't mean u win all the games ,and when u lose a game or two (like Barca did to Madrid) it doesn't mean u are inferior. A lot happens in those single games ,small details win u a match. Barca had several chances at the Bernabeu,we would be saying the opposite if any of them went in and Barca won the match. Bn league champions isn't abt bn the best , it's abt bn the most consistent. And Barca has bn consistent enough despite not bn at their best almost the entire season so far....and honestly Madrid were also struggling ,they lost points in games they would win if in better form especially at home. If the league can't be continued,give the title to the team on first position , despite how good or bad they were b4 league was stopped.

I guess the smaller teams that also beat Madrid this season should be considered since that's the case
