Ex-French national teamwinger FlorentMaloudawas one of the past Chelsea players to speak on the controversial European Super League.
Canoville was utterly disappointed on the matter as he tweeted that he’s heartbroken with the news of the Super League shortly after the euphoria of beating Manchester City in the FA Cup semi-final. Moroccan national team attacker Hakim Ziyechscored the only goal of the game on 55 minutes to propel the Blues to a 1-0 victory over the Citizens. Ziyech and Chelsea will face Leicester City in the FA Cup final next month as reward for seeing off City in the last four.
