Barcelona star Lionel Messi has said he doesn't want Real Madrid to win the UEFA Champions League and is pleased his own side rediscovered their form in time to salvage their La Liga campaign.
In a wide-ranging interview with ESPN FC's Quique Wolff, Messi was asked if he would prefer Atletico Madrid or Real to win the Champions League final. He said:
Always for Barcelona, the fans don't want to see Real Madrid win anything, as they also feel toward us. But in the end it is a final that they made it to again and for us, we just need to focus on what we can win.
