Champions League and Europa League semi-finals with rebel Super League clubs Man City, Chelsea, Real Madrid, Man United and Arsenal 'WILL go ahead as planned' next week despite UEFA expulsion threat

Next week's Champions League semi-finals are expected to take place as planned despite Chelsea, Manchester City and Real Madrid joining the breakaway European Super League.

The clubs are three of 12 who have signed up to be founders of the new competition, which is designed to rival UEFA's Champions League.

Despite the bitter war of words that has erupted between club owners and UEFA, it is believed this season's continental competitions will continue as planned.
