Real Madrid are ready to take their Champions League case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport if UEFA doesn't rule in their favour.
UEFA are still to make a judgement on Real's appeal that both Klaas-Jan Huntelaar and Lassana Diarra be cleared to play in the Champions League, despite the pair having appeared in the UEFA Cup already this season.
Real have submitted a 200-page appeal, but UEFA are taking their time, despite it being lodged last Friday.
