"Barcelona" star Lionel Messi says that despite the fact that two Madrid clubs will play in the UEFA Champions League final, residents of Barcelona still have their favorite.
The title defenders, coached by Luis Enrique, themselves fell from the strongest European tournament after losing to the "Atletico" team.
It is precisely Diego Simeone's squad that would rejoice in the triumph, along with the fans of "Barca".
"It is clear that the people of Barcelona do not want Madrid's "Real" to win anything," - Messi told ESPN.
"If "Atletico" were to beat them in the Champions League final, it would really delight Barcelona."
"What Madrid's "Atletico" has done is great, it is not easy to beat them. They are very strong opponents and Simeone deserves praise for their performances."
However, although the winner of the Champions League will be from Madrid, it is worth noting that the Spanish champions' title will most likely be fought for by "Barca".
