'It is outright false' - Real Madrid slam Pochettino over claims training ground requests were rejected

Real Madrid have issued an official statement slamming Mauricio Pochettino over claims his requests to use the club's training ground were rejected.

Spurs will be staying in the Spanish capital ahead of the Champions League final against Liverpool at Wanda Metropolitano on June 1.

Speaking ahead of the showpiece event, Pochettino revealed a conversation he had with Madrid president Florentino Perez regarding Tottenham's pre-match preparations.

The Argentine has been heavily linked with the top job at Santiago Bernabeu in recent months and he suggested Perez tried to offer him a compromise to suit both Madrid and Spurs.
