Inter Milan boss Antonio Conte takes aim at European Super League by saying sport must always be 'meritocratic' despite his bosses signing up for it as he also criticises UEFA for not rewarding clubs properly

Inter Milan coach Antonio Conte criticised both the proposed Super League and UEFA, insisting you must earn your right to qualify for competitions, while questioning the use of funds by European football's governing body.

Serie A leaders Inter, who moved a step closer to their first league title in 11 years after a 1-1 draw at Spezia on Wednesday, were one of three Italian clubs who originally signed up for the 12-team breakaway league.

The proposal fell apart after an extraordinary few days, with Inter becoming the first Italian side to follow English Premier League participants in withdrawing from the project.
