On May 28, the Italian city of Milan will be filled with Spanish soccer fanatics as Atletico Madrid faces Real Madrid in the Champions League final.
Can you guess who Lionel Messi and Barcelona are cheering for?
To no surprise, Messi and his teammates are cheering for Atletico to beat Barca's rival in the final. Speaking to ESPN Deportes, Messi said "obviously for the Barcelona people they want Real Madrid to lose, just like it is on the other side with us."
"What Atletico Madrid have done is great, it is not easy to beat them. They are a very tough opponent and [Diego] Simeone deserves credit for their performances," Messi said.
Atletico knocked out Barcelona in the Champions League quarterfinals, setting up a rematch against Real just like two years ago, when Cristiano Ronaldo and company won 4-1 in extra time.
Messi, just like every Barca fan, wants nothing more than to see Real fail at cup glory. But will they? Real Madrid has won 10 Champions League titles, the most of all time, while Atletico has never won.
