Jurgen Klopp says voiding the Premier League season would be ‘unfair’.
Liverpool held a 25-point lead in the English top flight before the coronavirus pandemic brought a halt to football worldwide in the middle of March.
The Anfield club need just two wins from their remaining nine fixtures of the current campaign to clinch a long-awaited first league title since 1990.
If the Premier League is unable to complete the season due to Covid-19, its final standings will be decided on a contentious points-per-game weighting.
Liverpool would still be crowned champions comfortably, ending their 30-year domestic drought, but will not be allowed to celebrate in front of supporters.
League chiefs have ruled out the possibility of the season being declared null and void despite vocal support for the idea from West Ham’s Karren Brady.
Speaking in a talk to the DFB Academy, Klopp admitted that the idea of expunging the previous 29 matches would have been an unjust outcome.
He said: “There was talk that people wanted to declare the season null and void.
“So you thought: ‘Huh? We have played 76 per cent of the season and you just want to delete the thing?’
“That would have been something that I personally would find unfair, to just say that it didn’t happen.
“We are first in the home table, we are first in the away table. It is a season in which we should become champions.
“Dealing with the crisis is the most important thing. But that doesn’t mean that certain things are of no importance at all just because they are less important.
“I think there are worse things in life than not becoming champions. A lot of people around us have big problems.
“People die, it always happens, but at the moment because of a virus that we all didn’t know and for which nobody could be prepared.
“We cannot prepare for everything, but also have to react often. That’s the biggest part of my life, reacting to things that I didn’t expect.”
Klopp also addressed concerns about football’s competitive resumption at a time when the cornavirus is continuing to affect countries worldwide.
‘People say: ‘How can you think about football, in moments when people are dying out there?’ Nobody does that,” he added.
“But like every other branch of business, we have to prepare for the time afterwards, because it will come of course.
“When it comes to football, that means that we will start training at some point and to make sure everyone is safe, unique measures are taken.
“As they were made in Germany, they are now being taken in England. The training centres of the English professional clubs will be the safest.
“There are no places to be infected at all.”
Liverpool’s players are set to return to Melwood on Tuesday following the Premier League clubs’ agreement to facilitate training in small groups.
