Real has right to play Champions League despite Super League intentions - Zidane
The HinduReal Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane said the idea that his side could have been booted out of the Champions League due to its role in creating the European Super League was "illogical", adding it was focused on their semi-final tie with Chelsea. We're going to play in the Champions League as that's our right," Zidane told a news conference ahead of his side's La Liga game against Real Betis on Saturday. The 13-times European champions provoked the ire of UEFA as well as national competition La Liga for being one of the leaders in the movement to form a breakaway league. UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin had said that the clubs who wished to breakaway would "suffer the consequences" but later said it was unlikely Real could be expelled from this season's Champions League.
