Peter Schmeichel slams Real Madrid for having "no right" to be in Champions League final

Peter Schmeichel has suggested that Real Madrid are undeserving of their place in the Champions League final, claiming that Carlo Ancelotti 's team have "no right."

The Manchester United legend was stunned by Los Blancos' epic comeback against Manchester City - another of his former clubs - in a dramatic semi-final second leg. 5-3 down on aggregate heading into six minutes of injury time, two goals in two minutes from substitute Rodrygo salvaged extra-time at a rapturous Santiago Bernabeu.

With City dead on their feet, talisman Karim Benzema slotted home the winner from the penalty spot after drawing a clumsy foul from Ruben Dias to seal the win. As Real remarkably booked their ticket to Paris and will face Liverpool at the Stade de France on Saturday, May 28, Schmeichel attempted to dismiss their credentials, having had to come from behind at some stage in all three of their knockout ties this season.
