Belgium becomes the first European league (I think) to make a decision: rest of the season cancelled, and effectively the most recent standings declared final. So Club Brugge are champions, and Gent go into the CL as runners-up. Relegation still to be decided.
But an important caveat: Belgium has a playoff system after 30 games. They had played 29 of those games, and most of the affected teams had decent gaps. So effectively all they& #39;ve done is cancel the playoffs. Not sure that solution would hold as easily in, say, Italy or Spain.
Where it may be more significant for everyone else is that they& #39;re not annulling, which I suspect is because Uefa has kind of hinted that countries that void may not be able to have CL/EL representation next season if other countries do resolve the season.
