Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane refused to expand on his views of the Super League ahead of the Champions League clash with Chelsea.

Zidane has insisted he has no need to issue a public defence of under-fire Real Madrid president Florentino Perez over his role in the breakaway.

"The president knows what I have in my heart and what I think, and we are here to prepare tomorrow's match," said Zidane.

"The rest is not that we are not interested, it's just not the moment to talk about it.

"We are going to play a Champions League semi-final, and that's all we can think about."

Asked if Real face any embarrassment over the lingering situation, Zidane replied: "We have a match tomorrow, I'm sorry but I'm not going to answer about that.

"Right now people are talking a lot about whether we will be in the competition next year or not.

"We have to pay attention to tomorrow's match. We don't control that, there's going to be a lot of conversation, and I'm just giving my opinion.

"We want to see Real Madrid in the next Champions League, and that's it."
