Schmeichel claims ‘poorest team by a mile’ Real Madrid have ‘no right’ to be in CL final

Peter Schmeichel says Real Madrid have “no right” to be in the Champions League final after being “the poorest team by a mile over the two games” against Manchester City.

“The first chance was the first goal in the 90th minute, the second goal was the second chance and the third goal was the third time they hit the target,” Schmeichel told CBS Sports.
