UEFA chief Ceferin threatens to ban holdout Super League clubs from Champions League

UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin has threatened to ban the four clubs who haven't yet left the Super League from the Champions League.

There were 12 clubs in the Super League when it was announced on Sunday, only for the plan to spectacularly collapse over a 48-hour period as eight clubs pulled out.

However, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Juventus and AC Milan have not yet officially left the competition.
